FOREWORD 


At  a  regular  meeting  of  Oriental  Consistory,  held  on  March  16, 
1905,  in  view  of  the  approaching  semi-centennial  anniversary  of  the 
institution  of  the  co-ordinate  bodies  of  the  Scottish  Rite  of  Free- 
masonry in  Chicago,  the  following  resolution  was  adopted : 

"WHEREAS,  It  seems  desirable  and  proper  that  the  collect- 
ing and  presenting  in  durable  form  of  the  facts,  incidents  and  data 
relating  to  the  history  of  these  bodies  for  the  past  fifty  years,  and  of 
the  Rite  in  general,  should  be  made  at  this  period  and  in  such  man- 
ner as  to  be  accessible  and  beneficial  to  our  membership,  there- 
fore be  it 

"Resolved,  That  the  librarian  of  this  Consistory  be  directed 
to  prepare  such  matter  as  may  be  ot  usefulness  in  connection 
with  the  subject  and  that  it  be  printed  and  issued  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Grand  Secretary  for  general  distribution  and  in  such 
number  as  shall  be  deemed  desirable." 

In  pursuance  of  such  resolution  this  book  has  been  compiled. 

The  task,  however,  has  been  one  of  great  difficulty,  owing  to  the 
almost  utter  dearth  of  historical  material  relating  to  the  origin  and 
early  years  of  the  several  bodies.  But  from  such  scant  data  as  are 
now  available  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  show,  in  a  connected 
manner,  the  introduction  and  subsequent  general  course  of  the  Rite 
in  Chicago,  together  with  such  incidental  matters  as  seemed  to 
possess  historic  interest.  From  the  time  of  the  Great  Fire  in  1871 
until  the  present,  there  are  complete  records  of  the  transactions  of 
the  bodies,  and  to  these  records  frequent  recurrence  has  been  had. 
But,  at  best,  these  later  records  present  but  little  for  the  historian's 
pen.  The  regular  routine  has  been  observed  and  the  bodies  have 
all  moved  quietly  in  their  accustomed  grooves  with  no  disturbing 
influences  from  either  without  or  within.  Peace  and  harmony  have 
characterized  all  of  their  proceedings  and  nothing  of  a  sensational 

IT

or  startling  nature  has  occurred.  Hence,  the  chronicle,  reflecting 
these  peaceful  moods,  must  itself  be  without  items  of  very  stirring 
interest. 

But  during  the  fifty  years  of  the  existence  of  the  bodies  there 
have  occurred  many  little  incidents  and  episodes  which  the  historian 
has  deemed  of  sufficient  importance  to  warrant  a  mention  in  these 
pages.  The  incidents  have  been  recited  with  such  degree  of  detail 
as  the  particular  subject  seemed  to  demand. 

To  avoid  prolixity  the  names  and  terms  of  service  of  the  presid- 
ing officers  of  the  several  bodies  have  been  collated  and  presented  in 
a  series  of  tables  which  show,  in  a  clear  and  succinct  manner,  the 
order  of  succession.  These  tables  cover  only  the  period  since  the 
union  in  1871.  No  sufficient  data  have  been  found  to  show  a  com- 
plete list  of  the  office  bearers  of  the  rival  bodies  prior  to  the  merger. 

Another  important  feature  of  the  book  is  the  historical  register 
of  members.  This  list  was  compiled  under  the  personal  supervision 
of  111.  Bro.  Gil.  W.  Barnard,  and  is  believed  to  be  full  and  com- 
plete. The  illustrations  have  necessarily  been  limited  and  confined 
to  the  portraits  of  the  men  who  have  successively  ruled  over  the 
several  bodies  and  guided  their  destinies  in  the  past. 

The  amended  code  of  by-laws,  adopted  in  the  year  1907,  has  also 
been  inserted  as  well  for  convenience  of  reference  as  from  the  fact 
that  it  is  itself  original  historic  material  of  the  highest  character. 

The  author  submits  the  volume  to  the  Craft  in  the  hope  that  it 
will  be  found,  in  some  measure,  a  fulfillment  of  the  directions  con- 
tained in  the  resolution  of  March  16,  1905,  and  that  it  may  serve  to 
preserve  "in  durable  form,"  some,  at  least,  of  the  "facts,  incidents 
and  data  relating  to  these  bodies  for  the  past  fifty  years."

FREEMASONRY,  like  many  other  institutions,  has  con- 
stantly exhibited  a  tendency  to  evolve  from  simple  to  com- 
plex forms.  Commencing,  so  far  as  we  are  able  to  learn, 
at  some  indeterminate  period  soon  after  the  end  of  the  tenth  cen- 
tury, its  rudimentary  form  seems  to  have  been  that  of  a  craft  guild. 
The  earliest  authentic  document  that  has  come  down  to  us,  dated, 
by  estimation,  the  latter  part  of  the  fourteenth  century,  unmistak- 
ably discloses  this  fact,  while  the  numerous  copies  of  the  old 
charges  written  or  compiled  since  that  time  all  confirm  this  primi- 
tive character.  But  the  old  Freemasons,  from  the  earliest  glimpse 
that  we  are  able  to  obtain  of  them,  were  not,  in  all  respects,  like 
the  ordinary  artificer's  guilds  of  the  period.  They  had  old  legends 
that  claimed  for  their  craft,  if  not  for  their  organization,  a  very 
remote  antiquity;  they  had  a  code  of  ethics  that  seems  remarkable 
for  its  lofty  morality  when  compared  with  the  rude  and  turbulent 
age  in  which  they  lived;  and  they  had  a  stable  organization,  with 
a  fixed  though  simple  ceremony  of  initiation. 

The  old  Freemasons,  however,  knew  nothing  of  degrees  or 
dignities.  They  had  but  one  form  of  reception,  and  the  person  so 
received  became  for  all  purposes  a  member  of  the  society.  There 


2  HISTORY  OF  A. '. A. '.SCOTTISH  RITE 

were  indeed  ranks  of  workmen,  the  divisions  and  distinctions  de- 
pending upon  technical  skill  and  knowledge  of  the  building  art, 
but  degrees,  as  that  term  is  now  understood,  do  not  seem  to  have 
had  any  existence  until  after  the  revival  of  1717.  While  it  is  true 
that  the  person  having  the  superintendence  of  the  work  was  known 
as  "Master,"  yet  this  title  had  reference  only  to  actual  building 
operations.  Their  principal  men,  the  directors  and  advisers,  were 
called  "Elders,"  and  it  was  one  of  the  Elders  who  presided  over 
the  meetings  of  the  Craft,  administered  the  obligation  and  read 
the  charges  to  the  novice. 

With  the  gradual  change  from  an  operative  to  a  purely  specula- 
tive character  came  many  additions  to  the  original  meagre  ritual. 
The  ancient  legends  of  the  Craft  supplied  some  of  these  additions 
but  the  fertile  imaginations  of  the  ritual  compilers  furnished  by 
far  the  larger  portion,  and  whenever  it  became  necessary  an  ancient 
legend  was  promptly  fabricated  to  sustain  a  ritualistic  formula. 
These  features  became  very  strongly  marked  after  the  revival  and 
the  Rev.  James  Anderson  may  fairly  be  assigned  the  position  of 
father  of  the  modern  school  of  imaginative  Masonic  historians. 

At  the  time  of  the  revival,  and  for  a  number  of  years  next  en- 
suing, it  would  seem  that  only  one  degree  was  conferred  in  the 
Lodge,  or,  at  most,  only  two  degrees,  to-wit:  Apprentice  and 
Fellow.  Certain  it  is  that  the  Master's  Part,  as  it  was  called,  could 
be  obtained  only  in  Grand  Lodge,  and  there  is  much  evidence  to 
show  that  the  part  of  Master  and  Fellow  constituted  but  one  degree. 
This,  it  would  further  seem,  consisted  of  a  mere  dignity.  By  1730, 
however,  a  full  scale  of  three  degrees,  in  essential  form  much  as 
we  now  know  them,  constituted  the  curriculum  of  the  Lodge. 
About  this  time,  also,  or  soon  thereafter,  there  was  introduced  the 
official  degree  of  Installed  Master,  and  along  about  1740  we  may 
perceive  the  first  appearance  of  the  degree  of  Royal  Arch.  This 
latter,  in  its  early  form  at  least,  seems  to  have  been  a  "chair  de- 
gree;" that  is,  it  was  conferred  only  on  the  actual  Masters  of 
Lodges,  or,  as  the  old  books  say,  upon  one  "who  had  regularly 
passed  the  chair  and  exhibited  proofs  of  his  skill  in  architecture." 

The  last  half  of  the  eighteenth  century  was  prolific  in  Masonic 
dignities,  degrees,  rites  and  systems.  Particularly  is  this  true  of 
the  continent  of  Europe,  where  the  primitive  conceptions  of  British 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  3 

Freemasonry  were  expanded  to  the  last  stages  of  attenuation.  An 
unbridled  license  gave  to  every  person  so  disposed  an  unlimited 
privilege  to  manufacture  dignities,  titles  and  degrees  at  his  pleasure, 
and,  as  a  consequence,  a  multitude  of  rites  was  invented.  In  the 
main  they  all  assumed  to  rest  upon  the  primary  symbolism  of  the 
original  three  degrees,  and  to  be  expansions  and  developments  of  the 
ancient  craft  legends.  But  superimposed  upon  the  old  and  simple 
usages  of  the  mediaeval  Masons  was  a  vast  mass  of  foreign  matter 
drawn  from  most  divergent  and  incongruous  sources.  The  occult 
sciences,  the  Kabala,  Hermeticism,  Gnosticism,  the  Mithraic  and 
Eleusinian  Mysteries,  as  well  as  the  Chivalry  of  the  Crusades,  all 
contributed  to  the  general  scheme  and  all  were  held  to  be  a  part  of 
the  great  arcana  of  Freemasonry.  These  systems,  for  the  most 
part,  were  highly  ephemeral,  and  in  many  instances  were  outlived 
by  their  projectors.  A  few,  however,  have  shown  a,  wonderful  per- 
sistency of  survival  and  now  form  the  basis  of  modern  rites  and 
orders  administering  the  high  degrees. 

It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  the  early  historians  of  these 
rites  were  not  more  concerned  with  stating  the  actual  facts  respect- 
ing the  genesis  of  their  respective  organizations,  and  less  with  seek- 
ing fanciful  derivations,  and  that  fables  should  have  been  so  insist- 
ently maintained  in  the  face  of  obvious  truth.  It  is  further  to 
be  regretted  that  modern  historians  of  the  high  degrees  have  not 
adopted  the  methods  of  critical  scholarship  which  so  eminently 
characterize  the  work  of  the  students  of  the  craft  degrees;  that  so 
much  of  their  work  should  have  been  devoted  to  barren  polemics 
and  so  little  to  efforts  of  purely  historical  writing,  and  that  on  many 
vital  points  they  are  so  utterly  at  variance.  The  result  has  been 
to  leave  the  casual  inquirer  in  doubt  and  uncertainty. 

In  the  paragraphs  immediately  following  an  attempt  has  been 
made  to  show,  in  brief  epitome,  the  origin  and  development  of  the 
Scottish  Rite.  The  data  are  drawn  wholly  from  writings  approved 
by  both  the  Southern  and  Northern  Supreme  Councils  and  from 
documents  published  by  one  or  the  other  of  those  bodies.  Where 
accounts  differ  preference  has  been  given  to  that  which  seems  the 
best  authenticated.  In  no  case  has  the  writer  advanced  any  views 
of  his  own. 


4  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/. SCOTTISH  RITE 

From  the  received  traditions  it  would  seem  that  in  the  year 
1758  a  society  was  instituted  in  France,  at  the  City  of  Paris,  called 
the  "Council  of  Emperors  of  the  East  and  West."  This  council, 
out  of  the  plenitude  of  its  own  power,  immediately  thereafter  cre- 
ated a  new  system  of  Freemasonry  to  which  it  gave  the  name  "Rite 
of  Perfection."  The  new  rite  was  divided  into  twenty-five  degrees, 
the  last  and  highest  of  which  was  "Sublime  Prince  of  the  Royal 
Secret."  In  1761  the  council  deputized  one  Stephen  Morin  to 
establish  a  lodge  "in  any  of  the  four  quarters  of  the  world  at  which 
he  shall  arrive  or  reside,"  to  be  named  "Perfect  Harmony,"  and  so 
to  "multiply  the  Royal  Order  of  Freemasons  in  all  the  perfect  and 
sublime  degrees."  By  his  charter  of  appointment,  Morin  was  fur- 
ther given  "full  and  entire  power  to  multiply  and  to  create  In- 
spectors in  every  place  where  the  sublime  degrees  are  not  estab- 
lished." Armed  with  this  authority  he  came  to  the  Island  of 
Jamaica,  where  he  is  said  to  have  created  a  number  of  Inspectors. 
Among  those  so  invested  was  Moses  M.  Hays,  to  whom  also  was 
given  the  power  of  appointing  Deputy  Inspectors,  whenever  in  his 
judgment  such  a  course  should  become  necessary.  Under  this 
power  Hays  appointed  Isaac  Da  Costa  a  Deputy  Inspector  General 
for  South  Carolina,  and  in  the  year  1783  the  Rite  was  introduced 
into  that  State  by  the  establishment  of  a  Lodge  of  Perfection  at 
Charleston.  This  lodge  was  the  germ  of  the  Ancient  Accepted 
Scottish  Rite. 

On  December  4,  1802,  a  circular,  signed  by  five  brethren  resid- 
ing at  Charleston,  was  issued  to  "all  the  Sublime  and  Symbolic 
Grand  Lodges  throughout  the  two  Hemispheres,"  announcing  that 
on  "the  3  ist  of  May,  5801,  the  Supreme  Council  of  the  Thirty-third 
degree  for  the  United  States  of  America  was  opened  with  the  high 
honors  of  Masonry,  by  Brothers  John  Mitchell  and  Frederick 
Dalcho."  There  is  no  record,  printed  or  written,  of  any  system  of 
thirty-three  degrees  prior  to  the  appearance  of  this  circular.  Where 
Mitchell  and  Dalcho  obtained  their  degrees  we  do  not  know.  Be- 
fore that  time  the  twenty-five  degrees  of  the  Rite  of  Perfection  were 
alone  recognized.  By  the  organization  of  this  Supreme  Council, 
therefore,  a  new  Masonic  rite  was  created.  This  seems  to  have 
been  accomplished  by  the  fabrication  or  adoption  of  eight  additional 
degrees,  the  former  dignity  of  Inspector  being  changed  into  a  de- 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  185&-1907  5 

gree  for  this  purpose  and  made  the  apex  of  the  Rite.  From  the 
Council  so  organized  has  descended,  directly  or  indirectly,  all  of 
the  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  of  the  world. 

In  the  year  1807,  or  about  five  years  after  the  appearance  of  the 
circular  above  mentioned,  one  Joseph  Cerneau,  a  refugee  from 
Cuba,  organized  a  "Grand  Consistory"  at  the  City  of  New  York. 
How  or  where  he  obtained  his  authority  is  immaterial  at  this  time. 
This  body  subsequently  became  known  as  the  "Supreme  Council 
for  the  United  States  of  America,  its  Territories  and  Depend- 
encies." 

In  1813,  or  about  six  years  after  the  formation  of  the  Cerneau 
body,  Emanuel  De  La  Motta,  representing  the  Supreme  Council  at 
Charleston,  organized  a  further  governing  body  at  New  York  to 
which  was  given  the  name  "Supreme  Council  for  the  Northern 
Masonic  Jurisdiction  of  the  United  States  of  America."  Thus 
there  were  two  Supreme  Councils  struggling  for  supremacy  in  the 
same  territory.  It  would  further  seem  that  a  bitter  rivalry  existed 
between  these  two  bodies  and  that  a  condition  of  open  warfare  char- 
acterized their  actions  toward  each  other  for  a  number  of  years. 
Then  came  the  anti-Masonic  storm,  before  which  both  bodies  went 
down  and  for  years  we  hear  nothing  concerning  either  of  them. 
But  about  1850  there  came  a  revival.  Very  weak  at  first,  after  the 
long  dormancy,  but  constantly  gathering  strength,  until  by  the 
year  1860  both  councils  had  become  practically  rehabilitated.  In 
this  latter  year,  however,  a  schism  occurred  in  the  Northern  Su- 
preme Council.  A  recital  of  the  causes  which  led  to  this  event  is 
unnecessary  for  the  purposes  of  this  sketch  and  these  matters  are 
touched  upon  only  because  they  are  a  part  of  the  early  history  of 
the  Rite  in  the  State  of  Illinois.  It  is  sufficient  to  state  that  the 
Commander,  E.  A.  Raymond,  was  declared  deposed  from  office; 
that  a  new  Commander,  K.  H.  Van  Rensselaer,  was  elected  to  suc- 
ceed him;  that  Raymond,  with  his  followers,  refused  to  submit  to 
the  deposal,  and  that,  as  a  consequence,  we  thereafter  find  two 
bodies,  each  claiming  to  be  the  lawful  Supreme  Council  for  the 
Northern  Jurisdiction.  The  old  Cerneau  Council  was  at  this  time 
under  the  presidency  of  one  E.  B.  Hays,  and  a  fierce  three-cor- 
nered conflict  was  waged  between  the  three  Supreme  Councils. 


6  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A.'.ScomsH  RITE 

In  1863  a  truce  was  declared  between  the  Raymond  and  Hays 
Councils  which  finally  resulted  in  their  amalgamation.  Each  rec- 
ognized the  other  as  regular  and  legitimate;  all  faults  and  defects 
of  either  were  condoned  and  both  became  consolidated  into  one 
new  body  called  "Supreme  Council  of  the  A.  A.  Scottish  Rite  for 
the  United  States  of  America,  its  Territories  and  Dependencies." 
This  council,  a  few  years  later,  or,  to  be  more  exact,  on  October 
22,  1865,  changed  its  name  to  "Supreme  Council  for  the  Northern 
Masonic  Jurisdiction  of  the  United  States  of  America."  Then 
there  were  but  two  supreme  councils,  each,  however,  claiming  to 
be  the  only  legal  Scottish  Rite  organization  in  the  Northern  Juris- 
diction. War  continued  to  wage  between  these  two  bodies  with 
unabated  fury  until  the  year  1867,  when,  as  the  result  of  wise 
counsels,  they  buried  their  differences,  forgot  their  former  animos- 
ities, and  by  mutual  agreement  consolidated  into  one  body  under 
the  name  and  style  "Supreme  Council  for  the  Northern  Masonic 
Jurisdiction  of  the  United  States."  This  is  the  body  which  at  this 
time  occupies  the  territory  originally  assigned  to  the  council  insti- 
tuted by  De  La  Motta  in  1813,  and  to  which  the  bodies  of  the  Rite 
in  Illinois  are  bound  in  fealty. 

By  the  act  of  union  each  of  the  two  councils  gave  up  their 
former  separate  existence  to  become  constituent  parts  of  the  new 
body,  and  from  thenceforward  there  has  been  but  one  governing 
body  for  the  jurisdiction.  From  time  to  time  attempts  have  been 
made  to  organize  and  exploit  spurious  bodies  claiming  descent  from 
one  or  the  .other  of  the  old  supreme  councils  above  mentioned.  The 
pretensions  of  these  spurious  bodies  have  rested,  in  the  main,  upon 
alleged  irregularities  in  the  consolidation  proceedings  and  of  in- 
herent rights  which,  it  is  claimed,  have  never  been  surrendered  by 
the  projectors.  ,But  while  these  matters  have  been  productive  of 
much  unpleasantness  in  other  States,  they  have  never  been  felt  in 
Illinois,  and  the  incidents  which  have  grown  out  of  them  form  no 
part  of  our  history.  To  the  student  who  desires  to  follow  in  detail 
the  Scottish  Rite  controversies,  the  five  volumes  of  Masonic  Polem- 
ics now  in  the  Library  of  Oriental  Consistory  will  furnish  a  full 
and  explicit  account,  and  to  them  he  is  referred. 

The  bodies  of  the  Rite  located  in  the  City  of  Chicago  are  lineal 
descendants  from  the  two  Supreme  Councils  which  united  in  1867 


VALLEY  or  CHICAGO,  1856-1907 

to  form  the  present  Supreme  Council,  and,  like  the  present  Su- 
preme Council,  were  formed  by  an  amalgamation  of  two  sets  of 
bodies  that  formerly  had  concurrent  possession  of  the  territory. 
Whatever  of  legitimacy,  authority,  or  worth  that  was  possessed  by 
either  or  all  of  the  old  bodies  has  become  ours  by  inheritance  and 
we  hold,  in  all  their  fullness  and  by  an  indefeasible  title,  the  exclu- 
sive possession  of  the  grades  of  the  Ancient  Accepted  Scottish  Rite 
of  Freemasonry.

THE  history  of  the  early  years  of  the  Rite  in  the  City  of 
Chicago  is  a  sealed  book,  which  no  one  at  the  present 
time  seems  to  be  able  to  open.  Little  has  come  down  to  us 
in  writing;  time  has  dimmed  the  memory  of  the  few  who  survive, 
while  death  has  removed  the  majority  of  the  witnesses  who  other- 
wise might  have  furnished  the  information  we  desire.  All  of  the 
records  of  the  old  bodies  were  destroyed  in  the  great  fire  of  1871, 
and  the  scanty  memoranda  now  extant  shed  but  little  light  on  the 
conditions  existing  prior  to  that  event. 

From  an  entry  in  the  records  of  the  original  Supreme  Council 
for  the  Northern  Jurisdiction  it  would  seem  that  an  effort  to  locate 
a  body  of  the  Rite  in  Chicago  was  made  as  early  as  1846,  as  in  that 
year  the  Grand  Commander  was  authorized  to  issue  a  charter  for 
a  Lodge  of  Perfection  to  be  held  in  this  city.  Beyond  the  mere 
fact  of  such  authorization,  however,  nothing  is  known.  The  rec- 
ords of  the  Supreme  Council  do  not  show  any  execution  of  the 
power  thus  given  nor  is  there  even  an  ancient  tradition  that  such 
a  body  was  ever  instituted.  We  may  safely  conclude,  therefore, 
that  conditions  were  not  favorable  for  the  exercise  of  the  Grand 
Commander's  authority,  and  that  nothing  was  done  under  it. 

Our  next  authentic  data  are  also  from  the  records  of  the  same 
Supreme  Council,  and  occur  in  a  report  made  to  that  body  by  K.  H. 
Van  Rensselaer  in  the  year  1857.  It  would  seem  that  about  this 
time  the  growing  interest  in  Freemasonry  began  to  extend  to  the 
higher  degrees,  and  that  the  Craft  at  large  were  making  inquiries

VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  9 

with  respect  to  the  system  known  as  the  Scottish  Rite,  which  there- 
tofore had  been  in  the  possession  and  under  the  control  of  small  and 
select  coteries.  In  view  of  these  facts  Bro.  Van  Rensselaer  was 
sent  on  a  missionary  tour  through  the  West  during  the  year  1856, 
and  one  of  the  results  of  his  labors  was  the  planting  of  a  set  of 
co-ordinate  bodies  of  the  Rite  in  Chicago.  From  his  report  we 
learn  that  pursuant  to  orders  from  the  Grand  Commander  he  vis- 
ited Chicago  in  the  month  of  July,  1856,  at  which  time  he  duly 
elevated  a  requisite  number  of  brethren  to  the  rank  of  Sublime 
Prince  of  the  Royal  Secret,  and  thereupon  duly  organized  and  con- 
stituted them  in  a  Lodge,  Council,  Chapter  and  Consistory  of  the 
Ineffable  and  Sublime  degrees  of  Freemasonry,  with  Charles  R. 
Starkweather  as  Commander  in  Chief.  .Bro.  Barnard,  who  has 
made  a  diligent  search  through  what  is  left  of  the  old  records, 
says: 

So  far  as  it  can  be  ascertained,  the  original  members,  admitted  by  Bro. 
Van  Rensselaer  at  the  time  of  the  organization  in  1856,  were :  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney, 
George  W.  Deering,  James  E.  Dalliba,  Robert  H.  Foss,  Wm.  B.  Herrick,  E. 
J.  Higgins,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  Wm.  W.  Mitchell,  Harman  G.  Reynolds, 
Henry  C.  Ranney,  Reuben  Taylor  and  Charles  R.  Starkweather,  the  latter 
having  received  the  degrees  at  a  previous  date. 

On  May  14,  1857,  charters  were  granted  by  the  Supreme  Coun- 
cil to  the  various  bodies  so  organized,  under  the  distinctive  names, 
"Van  Rensselaer  Grand  Lodge  of  Perfection,"  "Illinois  Council 
of  Princes  of  Jerusalem,"  "Gourgas  Chapter  of  Rose  Croix, 
H-R-D-M,"  and  "Occidental  Sovereign  Consistory  S.  P.  R.  S.," 
and  then  was  commenced  the  Masonic  life  of  the  Rite  in  this  valley 
which  has  continued  without  interruption  until  today. 

The  original  purport  of  the  "high  degrees"  was  superior  knowl- 
edge, and  to  render  this  effective  it  necessarily  followed  that  mem- 
bership was  restricted  and  the  mysterious  arcana  confined  to  the 
select  few.  The  new  bodies  at  Chicago  seem  to  have  been  imbued 
with  this  idea  and  to  have  acted  upon  it.  The  active  membership 
was  limited  to  thirty-two,  although  provision  was  made  for  emeritus 
and  honorary  members.  It  was  further  provided  in  the  by-laws, 
that  at  least  twenty-seven  of  the  active  members  should  be  resi- 
dents of  the  City  of  Chicago.  There  was  no  special  limitation  of 
the  number  of  honorary  members,  this  matter  being  left  to  the  dis« 


10  HISTORY  or  A.'.A.'.ScoxxiSH  RITE 

cretion  of  the  actives.  It  would  seem,  however,  that  the  exclusive 
character  of  the  organization  was,  for  a  time  at  least,  rigorously 
maintained,  for  according  to  a  report  made  in  the  year  1865,  nearly 
ten  years  after  Van  Rensselaer's  first  visit,  the  entire  membership, 
active,  honorary  and  emeritus,  was,  at  that  time,  only  eighty-two. 
Nor  does  it  seem  that  honorary  membership  was  of  much  value,  be- 
yond the  mere  fact  of  possession  of  the  degrees  and  the  incident 
right  of  visitation.  It  conferred  the  doubtful  privilege  of  a  voice 
in  the  deliberations,  but  the  persons  so  admitted  were  wholly  with- 
out voting  capacity  in  the  business  sessions  and  in  the  selection  of 
officers.  Neither  were  they  permitted  to  hold  office  themselves. 
It  may  be  that  these  onerous  restrictions  had  much  to  do  with  the 
poor  showing  in  the  early  growth  of  the  bodies. 

Any  active  member  who  by  reason  of  age,  long  service,  "or 
other  good  cause,"  chose  to  retire  from  active  participation  in  "the 
works,"  was  permitted  to  "resign  his  seat,"  and  thereupon  to  be- 
come an  emeritus  member.  An  active  member  failing  to  pay  dues 
after  two  successive  notices  from  the  Grand  Secretary  thereby  vir- 
tually abdicated  and  relinquished  his  rights  of  membership,  such 
action  being  construed  as  a  resignation.  Nor  could  he  ever  be 
reinstated  as  an  active  member  unless  by  unanimous  vote  of  all  of 
the  actives,  though  he  might  be  given  the  status  of  honorary  mem- 
bership, after  payment  of  arrearages,  by  a  majority  vote  of  the 
active  members  present.  It  would  seem,  also,  that  active  members 
were  not  permitted  to  shirk  duties,  for  if  one  of  them  failed  to 
attend  three  consecutive  sessions  of  the  Consistory,  without  leave, 
by  such  act  he  became  an  honorary  member  and  his  vacant  seat 
was  immediately  filled.  In  like  manner,  any  officer  failing  to  attend 
three  consecutive  sessions,  unless  excused  by  the  Consistory,  was 
considered  as  having  resigned  his  office.  Five  active  members  con- 
stituted a  quorum  for  the  transaction  of  business. 

The  triennial  meeting  for  the  election  of  officers  was  held  on 
the  festival  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist.  Regular  meetings  were 
held  on  the  fourth  Thursdays  of  February,  April,  June,  August, 
October,  and  on  the  27th  day  of  December  in  each  year. 

The  degrees  conferred  in  the  Consistory,  or  rather  the  scale  of 
degrees  over  which  it  exercised  jurisdiction,  were,  in  titles  at  least, 
much  the  same  as  at  present.  The  29th,  now  known  as  Knight  of 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  11 

St.  Andrew,  was  then  called  "Patriarch  of  the  Crusades."  Other- 
wise, the  names  were  practically  the  same  as  those  now  employed. 

During  the  stormy  period  of  the  Civil  War,  when  men's  minds 
were  centered  largely  on  the  Titanic  struggle  of  the  sections,  Ma- 
sonry generally,  in  all  of  its  branches,  suffered  a  decline.  This 
was  particularly  true  of  the  higher  degrees,  and  for  several  years 
but  little  was  done  in  the  Preceptory  of  the  Consistory.  But  with 
the  return  of  peace  and  the  resumption  of  social  relations  an  era 
of  marked  prosperity  set  in,  and  the  year  1865  may  be  taken  as 
the  date  of  the  first  real  advance  of  the  Scottish  Rite  in  the  State 
of  Illinois. 

Up  to  this  time  there  had  been  but  one  set  of  bodies  in  the  city. 
It  would  have  been  well,  perhaps,  if  this  condition  had  continued, 
but  the  fates  had  decreed  otherwise.  The  consolidation  of  the  two 
Supreme  Councils  presided  over  by  Raymond  and  Hays  respect- 
ively, as  described  in  the  preceding  chapter,  created  a  new  and 
strong  Masonic  power  that  sought  for  conquests  in  the  West.  The 
result  was  the  establishment,  at  the  City  of  Chicago,  of  a  second 
Consistory  and  co-ordinate  bodies  and  the  inauguration  of  a  season 
of  bitter  antagonistic  feeling,  the  effects  of  which  were  felt  for 
many  years  afterward. 

The  early  records  of  the  Supreme  Councils,  upon  which  we  are 
forced  to  rely  for  what  little  information  we  possess  of  Scottish 
Rite  origins  in  Chicago,  are  not  very  full  or  explicit.  But  from 
these  records,  and  the  few  traditions  that  have  come  down  to  us, 
we  find  that  about  this  time  Bro.  John  Sheville  made  a  tour  of  the 
West  as  a  missionary  of  the  Raymond-Hays  Supreme  Council, 
in  much  the  same  manner  as  Bro.  Van  Rensselaer  had  traversed 
the  territory  some  ten  years  before.  Chicago  seems  to  have  been 
one  of  his  objective  points,  and  while  here  he  conferred  the  degrees 
upon  a  number  of  brethren  and  thereupon  instituted,  not  a  series 
of  bodies  but  a  subsidiary  governing  body  which  was  known  as  the 
"Grand  Consistory  of  Illinois."  The  policy  of  the  "Union  Coun- 
cil," as  the  Raymond-Hays  body  was  called,  was  to  plant  a  supe- 
rior body,  with  limited  governmental  powers,  in  each  State,  and  to 
leave  to  this  body,  called  a  Grand  Consistory,  the  task  of  propagat- 
ing the  Rite  in  its  jurisdiction  and  of  issuing  charters  to  the  bodies 
which  it  might  create.  At  a  session  of  the  Supreme  Council  held 


12  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/.SCOTTISH  RITE 

on  Dec.  14,  1866,  a  charter  was  authorized  to  be  issued  to  the 
Grand  Consistory  of  Illinois,  to  bear  date  as  of  the  time  of  its  insti- 
tution. At  the  same  time  Bro.  Walter  A.  Stevens  was  elected  an 
active  member  of  the  Supreme  Council,  while  D.  W.  Thompson  was 
appointed  its  deputy  for  the  State  of  Illinois. 

The  Grand  Consistory  of  Illinois  was  organized  with  Walter 
A.  Stevens  as  Grand  Commander  in  Chief,  and  the  other  offices 
were  filled  by  men  whose  names  have  become  historic  in  the  Ma- 
sonic annals  of  the  State.  This  body  thereupon  issued  charters 
of  constitution  for  "Chicago  Consistory,"  with  John  D.  M.  Carr 
as  Commander  in  Chief;  for  "Cceur  de  Leon  Chapter  of  Rose 
Croix";  for  "Chicago  Council,  Princes  of  Jerusalem,"  and  for 
"Chicago  Lodge  of  Perfection."  At  the  same  time  co-ordinate 
bodies  were  established  at  Monmouth,  De  Kalb,  and  Waukegan. 

Thenceforward  we  find  two  opposing  sets  of  Scottish  Rite 
bodies  in  Chicago,  each  claiming  exclusive  jurisdiction  and  each 
asserting  the  only  legitimate  descent.  The  union  of  the  two  parent 
Supreme  Councils  in  1867  served  in  some  measure  to  remove  all 
questions  of  legitimacy,  as  each  of  these  bodies  recognized  as  reg- 
ular and  legitimate  the  progeny  of  the  other,  and  whatever  of  con- 
genital defect  that  may  have  once  existed  in  either  branch  was  effaced 
and  forgotten.  But,  notwithstanding  that  the  parents  had  buried 
their  differences  and  united  in  one  body  all  of  the  theretofore  op- 
posing factions,  the  children  at  Chicago  refused  to  become  recon- 
ciled. Though  both  sets  of  bodies  recognized  the  one  Supreme 
Council,  and  both  were  in  its  allegiance,  yet,  as  between  themselves 
there  was  no  compromise  and  each  Consistory,  with  its  co-ordinate 
bodies,  continued  its  separate  existence  as  before.  These  condi- 
tions, strange  as  it  may  now  appear,  lasted  for  a  number  of  years 
and  during  that  period  there  was  a  state  of  affairs  in  the  Scottish 
Rite  Masonry  of  Chicago  that  greatly  resembled  the  "Wars  of  the 
Roses."  This  warfare  continued  until  the  year  1871,  when  a  union 
was  finally  effected  in  the  manner  hereinafter  described.

THE  UNION. 

DIFFERENCES  OF  THE  RIVAL  BODIES — FIRST  EFFORTS  FOR  RECONCILIATION — AC- 
TION OF  SUPREME  COUNCIL — STORY  OF  THE  RECONCILIATION — ARTICLES  OF 
UNION — THE  MERGER — THE  CONSOLIDATED  BODIES — THE  GREAT  FlRE  OF 
1871 — REVIVAL  AND  REORGANIZATION. 

WHILE  it  is  easy  to  understand  why  there  should  have  been 
two  sets  of  Scottish  Rite  bodies  in  Chicago  during  the 
time  that  rival  Supreme  Councils  were  claiming  jurisdic- 
tion over  the  territory,  it  is  not  so  easy  to  understand  why  this 
duality  should  have  continued  after  the  union  of  these  Supreme 
Councils  in  1867,  and  after  each  of  the  co-ordinate  bodies  had 
sworn  allegiance  to  the  new  Supreme  Council.  Yet  for  four  years 
after  the  parent  bodies  had  settled  all  their  differences  in  an  ami- 
cable merger  their  progeny  in  Illinois  continued  to  maintain  a 
separate  existence,  and,  it  would  seem,  with  feelings  of  considerable 
animosity  toward  each  other. 

The  reasons  for  this  strange  condition  of  affairs  were  many, 
although  in  the  main  trivial.  Back  of  all  was  the  old  ingrained 
prejudice  which  many  of  the  members  of  the  rival  bodies  enter- 
tained for  each  other,  a  survival  of  the  preceding  period.  The 
general  policy  of  the  two  bodies  also  exhibited  great  differences, 
and  these  differences  became  strongly  accentuated  after  the  merger 
of  the  parent  Supreme  Councils.  One  of  these  points  of  difference 
was  the  field  from  which  candidates  were  drawn,  or  the  qualifica- 
tions a  person  should  possess  before  being  permitted  to  petition 
for  the  degrees.  Thus,  Occidental  Consistory,  pursuing  its  old- 
time  policy  of  exclusiveness,  required  all  of  its  postulants  to  be 
Knights  Templar,  and  insisted  that  membership  should  be  con- 
fined to  the  ultra-select.  Chicago  Consistory,  on  the  other  hand, 
conferred  its  degrees  upon  any  one  of  good  character  who  had 

13 


14  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/. SCOTTISH  RITE 

attained  the  degree  of  Master  Mason.  This  caused  a  constant  fric- 
tion between  the  bodies  which  eventually  resulted  in  strained  rela- 
tions that  threatened  open  rupture. 

The  first  efforts  looking  toward  a  reconcilement  and  union  were 
made  in  the  Supreme  Council.  At  the  annual  session  of  the  latter, 
held  in  the  year  1869,  a  resolution  was  adopted  which,  in  general 
terms,  recommended  to  the  Consistories  of  the  various  States  under 
its  jurisdiction  a  consolidation  of  their  respective  bodies,  "and 
where  it  is  desirable  that  more  than  one  Consistory  should  exist, 
that  they  should  be  as  far  removed  from  each  other  as  possible." 
This  resolution  paved  the  way  for  a  merger  had  either  side  then 
been  willing  to  make  concessions,  but  so  strong  and  bitter  was  the 
spirit  of  rivalry  that  neither  would  take  the  initiative,  and  it  was 
not  until  two  years  later  that  the  project  assumed  definite  shape. 

During  the  year  1870  the  ill  feeling  which  existed  between  the 
two  Consistories  seems  to  have  reached  an  acute  stage,  which 
threatened  not  only  the  present  peace  and  harmony  of  the  Rite  but 
endangered  its  future  welfare.  At  this  juncture  wise  counsels 
came  to  allay  the  fever  of  the  warring  factions  and  it  was  proposed 
to  end,  at  once  and  forever,  all  disputes  and  contentions  by  a  con- 
solidation of  all  of  the  bodies,  in  pursuance  of  the  resolution  of  the 
Supreme  Council.  This  was  finally  consummated  in  the  following 
year,  and,  as  Bro.  Barnard  has  said  in  his  history,  was  "one  of  the 
greatest  and  most  momentous  events  in  the  history  of  these  bodies." 

The  principal  data  for  the  story  of  the  reconciliation  are  found 
in  a  report  made  to  the  Supreme  Council  in  1871,  by  111.  Bro.  Vin- 
cent L.  Hurlbut,  the  Deputy  for  Illinois. 

From  the  report  of  Bro.  Hurlbut  we  learn  that  on  January  27, 
1871,  he  convened  the  presiding  officers  of  the  several  bodies  of 
the  Rite  at  Chicago  in  a  Council  of  Deliberation,  for  the  purpose 
of  "devising  some  equitable  plan  to  consolidate  the  several  bodies, 
with  perfect  harmony  and  fraternal  feeling."  The  response  to  the 
order  was  full  and  hearty.  The  general  feeling  was  that  all  of  the 
unfortunate  differences  of  the  past  should  be  buried;  that  the  two 
Consistories  and  their  co-ordinate  bodies  should  unite  their  strength 
and  influence  by  a  consolidation,  and  as  a  basis  for  future  work  on 
these  lines  the  presiding  officers  of  all  of  the  bodies,  together  with  the 
Deputy,  were  appointed  a  committee  to  prepare  "terms  of  union," 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  15 

with  instructions  to  report  the  result  of  their  labors  at  a  future 
called  meeting  of  the  Council.  It  was  further  decided,  that  if  the 
terms  proposed  should  meet  the  approval  of  the  Council,  then  the 
Deputy  was  to  request  the  presiding  officers  to  call  meetings  of  the 
members  of  their  respective  bodies  to  act  upon  the  proposition  sub- 
mitted. For  the  purpose  of  furthering  the  project  and  facilitating 
the  undertaking,  a  sub-committee  was  appointed  to  "perfect  a  plan 
of  consolidation."  This  committee,  which  may  be  regarded  as  the 
sponsor  of  the  present  co-ordinate  bodies,  was  composed  of  the 
Illustrious  Brethren,  Reuben  Cleveland  and  Gilbert  W.  Barnard 
on  the  part  of  Chicago  Consistory,  and  Henry  C.  Ranney  and  The- 
odore T.  Gurney  on  the  part  of  Occidental  Consistory. 

The  sub-committee  met,  deliberated,  and  finally  agreed,  that 
there  should  be  but  one  set  of  bodies  of  the  Rite  in  Chicago,  and 
that  a  union  of  the  two  sets  then  claiming  concurrent  jurisdiction 
should  immediately  be  made.  It  was  not  considered  necessary, 
however,  that  both  Consistories,  as  well  as  the  other  co-ordinate 
bodies,  should  surrender  their  charters,  and  it  was  thought  that  the 
union  could  be  best  accomplished  by  an  absorption  of  the  younger 
bodies  by  the  elder.  The  terms  of  union,  in  each  case,  to  be  agreed 
upon  and  settled  by  a  Conference  Committee  composed  of  members 
of  both  bodies. 

These  conclusions  were  duly  reported  to  an  adjourned  meeting 
of  the  Council  of  Deliberation  held  on  February  3,  1871,  when  they 
were  approved  with  slight  modifications.  By  resolution  of  the 
Council  the  several  bodies  were  left  free  to  act,  each  for  itself,  with- 
out waiting  for  action  by  bodies  of  other  grades,  and  in  the  event 
of  merger  all  past  officers  and  members  of  the  merging  body  were 
to  retain  all  of  their  former  rights  and  privileges  in  the  surviving 
body.  Immediately  after  the  union  should  be  effected  the  officers 
of  the  surviving  body  were  to  resign  their  positions  and  the  Com- 
mittee of  Conference  was  to  present  a  list  of  names  for  the  officers 
to  be  elected  by  the  consolidated  body.  In  fact,  everything  was 
done  to  perfect  the  "equitable  plan"  of  consolidation  proposed  by 
the  Deputy  at  the  initial  meeting  of  the  Council,  and  that,  too,  "with 
perfect  harmony  and  fraternal  feeling."  There  were,  however,  a 
few  minor  points  involved  in  the  plan  upon  which  complete  agree- 
ment could  not  be  reached.  These  arose,  in  the  main,  out  of  feel- 


16    ;  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A.'.ScomsH  RITE 

ings  of  pride  on  the  one  hand  and  of  prejudice  on  the  other,  by 
certain  members  of  the  merging  or  younger  bodies.  Finally,  a 
happy  solution  to  these  vexed  questions  was  presented  by  a  project 
for  the  re-naming  of  the  consolidated  Consistory  and  a  juggling 
of  the  name  of  one  of  the  other  bodies,  the  idea  being  to  efface,  as 
far  as  possible,  the  distinctive  features  of  prior  existence  and  to 
give  to  the  consolidated  bodies  the  appearance,  at  least,  of  new  life. 
This  was  accomplished  by  the  passage  of  the  following  resolution: 

Resolved,  That  it  is  essential  to  the  prosperity  of  the  A.  •.  &  A.  •.  Rite, 
that  there  should  be  but  one  Consistory,  Chapter,  Council  and  Lodge  in  this 
city,  and  the  Committee  heartily  recommend  the  union  of  Chicago  Consistory 
with  Occidental  Consistory;  Coeur  de  Leon  Sovereign  Chapter  with  Gourgas 
Chapter;  Chicago  Council  with  Illinois  Council;  Chicago  Lodge  with  Van 
Rensselaer  Lodge,  and  that  on  the  union  of  these  respective  Bodies  an  appli- 
cation be  made  immediately  to  the  Supreme  Council  for  a  change  of  the  name 
of  Occidental  Consistory  to  Oriental  Consistory,  and  Illinois  Council  to  Chi- 
cago Council. 

In  pursuance  of  this  action  of  the  Council  of  Deliberation,  and 
upon  the  further  request  of  the  delegates  thereto,  the  Deputy 
thereupon  notified  all  of  the  bodies  to  convene  special  meetings  of 
the  members  for  the  purpose  of  considering  and  acting  upon  the 
proposed  plan  of  consolidation.  This  was  done.  All  of  the  bodies 
adopted  the  recommendations  of  the  Council,  and  all  carried  out, 
in  good  faith,  the  plan  as  therein  set  forth.  There  were  no  dis- 
sensions, no  real  opposition,  but  all  worked  unitedly  and  harmoni- 
ously. Committees  of  Conference  were  appointed  to  arrange  the 
terms  of  merger  as  provided  in  the  recommendations ;  the  "Chicago 
Bodies,"  as  they  were  called,  surrendered  their  charters  to  the  Dep- 
uty and  ceased  to  exist;  the  surviving  bodies  received  all  of  the 
members  of  the  extinct  bodies  and  the  officers  of  such  surviving 
bodies  then  resigned;  the  united  bodies  then  proceeded  to  fill  the 
vacant  stations,  choosing  the  officers  alternately  from  the  member- 
ship as  represented  by  the  dual  bodies  before  the  merger. 

The  initial  steps  were  taken  in  the  Lodges  of  Perfection,  both 
of  which  met  on  March  24,  1871,  at  their  respective  halls,  and  then 
effected  a  consolidation  as  above  described.  The  same  action  was 
subsequently  had  by  the  two  Councils  and  the  two  Chapters,  and 
on  April  27,  1871,  the  two  Consistories  formally  ratified  the  pact

by  a  fraternal  union.  Thus  the  merger  became  complete  and  from 
thence  hitherto  there  has  been  but  one  set  of  co-ordinate  Scottish 
Rite  bodies  in  the  City  of  Chicago. 

While  the  action  of  the  various  bodies  in  thus  effecting  a  con- 
solidation was  characterized  by  much  unanimity  of  spirit,  there 
were  yet  some  who  refused  to  accept  the  new  order  of  things  and 
who  clung  to  the  old  forms.  This  became  manifest  in  the  Coun- 
cil of  Deliberation  while  negotiations  for  a  union  were  still  in  prog- 
ress. To  enable  all  such  persons  to  effect  an  honorable  retreat  in 
the  event  of  a  merger  the  Council  adopted  the  following : 

Resolved,  That  should  a  majority  of  each  of  the  A.  •.  &  A.  •.  Rite 
Bodies  vote  to  unite,  that  each  and  every  member  of  each,  who  may  not  wish 
to  become  a  member  of  the  Consolidated  Body  or  Bodies,  who  may  be  in  good 
and  regular  standing,  may  be  permitted  to  dimit  from  the  respective  Body  or 
Bodies  to  which  they  may  belong,  after  the  vote  of  union  has  passed. 

Acting  upon  this  resolution  it  would  seem  that  a  large  num- 
ber of  the  members  of  both  branches  of  the  Rite  dimitted,  a 
circumstance  that  materially  reduced  the  membership  of  the  con- 
solidated bodies.  The  withdrawals  also  had  a  depressing  effect  upon 
many  of  those  who  remained,  while  their  deterrent  influence  on 
prospective  candidates  still  further  tended,  in  some  measure,  to 
impede  progress.  But  the  general  feeling  was  good  and  the  inci- 
dents just  mentioned  were  not  of  sufficient  moment  to  cause  serious 
trouble.  The  future  seemed  bright  and  full  of  promise,  and  then 
came  the  devastating  fire  of  Oct.  9,  1871,  and  with  it  a  momentary 
suspension  of  the  Masonic  life  of  the  city. 

From  the  standpoint  of  the  historian  the  loss  occasioned  by  the 
Great  Fire  is  irreparable.  All  of  the  records,  charters,  and  other 
historic  memoranda,  both  of  the  original  and  consolidated  bodies, 
were  utterly  consumed.  No  subsequent  efforts  were  made  to  re- 
store them,  and  not  until  a  majority  of  the  chief  actors  in  the  early 
drama  had  passed  away  did  the  enormity  of  the  loss  which  had  been 
sustained  become  apparent.  Occasionally,  as  the  student  of  the 
Craft  pursues  his  investigations  among  the  debris  of  those  forgot- 
ten years,  something  of  value  is  unearthed,  but  thus  far  the  finds 
have  been  few  and  unimportant. 


18  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A/. SCOTTISH  RITE 

While  the  fire  seemed  for  the  moment  to  have  paralyzed  the 
Masonic  energy  of  the  city,  yet  such  paralysis  was  momentary 
only.  As  would  naturally  be  expected  the  recuperative  spirit  was 
first  manifested  by  the  Craft  Lodges,  but  the  higher  bodies  were 
also  quick  to  respond  to  the  general  feeling  of  the  community  for 
a  new  and  greater  Chicago.  This  was  particularly  the  case  with 
respect  to  the  bodies  of  the  Scottish  Rite,  and  on  Nov.  29,  1871,  a 
meeting  of  the  Chiefs  was  held  at  the  office  of  the  Deputy  "for  the 
purpose  of  taking  action  in  the  matter  of  reorganization  of  the  sev- 
eral bodies  of  the  Rite."  After  a  full  discussion  of  the  situation 
the  following  action  was  taken: 

Resolved,  As  the  sense  of  the  Presiding  Officers  of  the  A.  •  &  A.  *.  Rite 
bodies,  all  being  present,  that  it  is  most  desirable  to  reorganize  the  several 
bodies  as  soon  as  possible. 

Resolved,  That  as  soon  as  we  can,  we  should  hold  our  meetings  on  the 
nights  of  the  regular  meetings,  as  provided  for  by  the  By-Laws. 

Resolved,  That  in  the  absence  of  work  at  the  regular  meetings  of  the 
several  bodies,  some  Brother  be  requested  to  prepare  a  lecture  or  essay  ap- 
pertaining to  the  A.  •.  &  A.  •.  Rite. 

Resolved,  That  we  recommend  to  our  several  bodies  the  appointment  of 
committees,  with  power  to  act,  to  procure  permanent  quarters  on  the  "South 
Side"  of  the  city,  and  as  near  our  old  quarters  as  possible. 

Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  of  this  meeting  furnish  to  the  several  bodies 
of  the  A.  •.  &  A.  •.  Rite  of  Chicago,  a  copy  of  the  foregoing  Resolutions,  so 
that  the  committees  on  reconstruction  may  be  appointed,  and  the  work  of  re- 
organization go  on  as  speedily  as  possible. 

In  pursuance  of  the  foregoing  resolutions  temporary  quarters 
were  secured  on  the  "South  Side,"  in  a  hall  at  Twenty-third  street 
and  Cottage  Grove  avenue,  where  the  work  of  "reorganization" 
was  vigorously  prosecuted.  Then  for  a  period  the  West  Chicago 
Masonic  Temple  at  Halsted  and  West  Randolph  streets  was 
their  place  of  shelter,  until  finally,  on  the  completion  of  the  Ma- 
sonic apartments  in  the  American  Express  Building,  No.  78  Monroe 
street,  they  removed  thither  and,  with  but  one  brief  interruption, 
this  continued  to  be  their  home  for  many  years. 

In  1893  the  bodies  vacated  the  quarters  they  had  so  long  occu- 
pied at  78  Monroe  street,  and  moved  to  a  set  of  apartments  spe- 
cially prepared  for  them  in  the  then  recently  erected  Masonic 


19 
VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907 

Temple,  located  at  State  and  Randolph  streets.  The  new  rooms, 
however,  were  not  in  all  respects  satisfactory,  neither  were  they 
adapted  to  the  requirements  of  the  constantly  augmenting  ranks  of 
the  Consistory.  As  a  consequence,  after  a  few  years'  occupation, 
it  was  decided  to  seek  other  and  better  accommodations.  These 
were  eventually  secured  by  the  purchase  of  the  property  located 
at  293~5  Dearborn  avenue,  and  the  erection  thereon  of  the  present 
commodious  halls.  And  so,  after  half  a  century  of  wandering,  the 
bodies  are  at  last  housed  in  a  permanent  home  of  their  own.

ORIENTAL  CONSISTORY. 

THE  CONSOLIDATED  BODY  RE-CHARTERED — REAL  COMMENCEMENT  OF  CORPORATE 
LIFE — EFFECT  OF  THE  GREAT  FIRE— GROWTH  IN  MEMBERSHIP  AND  GAINS  IN 
MONEY — COMPARISONS  WITH  OTHER  BODIES  OF  THE  RITE — PRESENT  CON- 
DITIONS. 

ON  the  sixteenth  day  of  November,  1871,  just  five  weeks  after 
the  Great  Fire  and  while  the  bodies  of  the  Rite  were  still  sit- 
ting sorrowful  amid  the  ashes  of  their  former  home,  the 
Supreme  Council  met  at  the  City  of  Boston,  and,  among  other 
things,  granted  a  charter  for  a  new  body  to  be  located  at  the  City 
of  Chicago  under  the  title  of  "Oriental  Consistory."  The  warrant 
of  authority  ran  to  the  Illustrious  Brethren,  George  W.  Deering, 
Charles  R.  Starkweather,  William  B.  Herrick,  James  V.  Z.  Blaney, 
Robert  H.  Foss,  James  E.  Dalliba  and  Hosmer  A.  Johnson,  "with 
their  future  legal  associates  and  successors."  But  while  the  charter 
bears  date  as  of  November  16,  1871,  and  in  general  terms  purports 
to  be  a  warrant  for  the  organization  of  a  new  body,  yet,  in  effect, 
it  is  only  a  charter  of  confirmation.  This  fact  is  further  recognized 
by  a  clause  of  the  charter  itself  which  recites : 

And  we  do  hereby  declare  the  precedence  of  said  Oriental  Consistory  to 
commence  from  the  twentieth  day  of  Sivan,  A.'.  M.-.  5617,  answering  to 
the  fourteenth  day  of  May,  A.  D.  1857,  hereby  ratifying  and  confirming  all 
constitutional  acts  heretofore  done  by  said  Consistory. 

Endorsed  upon  the  charter  is  the  following: 

This  warrant  of  authority  is  issued  by  the  SUPREME  COUNCIL,  A.  •.  A. '-. 
S.  •.  Rite,  for  the  Northern  Masonic  Jurisdiction,  U.  S.A.,  as  a  substitute  for  that 
by  the  authority  of  which,  the  body  named  herein  was  constituted,  bearing 
date  May  14,  1857,  and  which  was  destroyed  by  fire  October  9,  1871. 

20 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  21 

By  whom  this  endorsement  was  made  does  not  appear,  but  it 
undoubtedly  expresses  the  true  purport  of  the  charter,  which  was, 
not  to  create  a  new  consistory  but  to  continue  the  existence  of  the 
original  organization  under  a  new  name.  Such  being  the  case,  then 
the  body  now  known  as  Oriental  Consistory  will  have  completed 
the  first  semi-centenary  of  its  existence  on  May  14,  1907,  and  it  is 
to  commemorate  this  event  that  the  writer  has  prepared  the  present 
sketch. 

But  while  the  official  life  of  Oriental  Consistory,  by  that  name, 
commenced  on  November  16,  1871,  its  potential  existence  must  be 
dated  from  the  day  of  the  Union,  which  was  April  27,  1871,  or  a 
little  more  than  six  months  before  the  new  charter  issued.  On  the 
evening  of  this  last  mentioned  day  both  of  the  old  Consistories  met, 
pursuant  to  the  agreement  theretofore  made  by  the  Conference 
Committees.  Chicago  Consistory  surrendered  its  charter  to  the 
Deputy,  and  thereupon  presented  a  list  of  the  names  of  its  members, 
all  of  whom  were  immediately  received  in  full  fellowship  by  Occi- 
dental Consistory.  The  officers  of  Occidental  Consistory  then  re- 
signed their  several  stations  and  the  Deputy  ordered  a  new  election. 
At  this  election  Bro.  Henry  C.  Ranney  became  the  Commander  in 
Chief  and  notwithstanding  that  the  election  was  held  in  Occidental 
Consistory,  yet  inasmuch  as  no  change  was  made  in  the  official 
staff  after  the  issuance  of  the  new  charter  he  is  classed  as  the  first 
Commander  of  Oriental  Consistory. 

We  are  informed  by  some  of  the  old  timers  that  the  consolida- 
tion, beneficial  as  it  may  have  been,  did  not  entirely  allay  the  bitter 
feelings  that  former  years  had  engendered,  and  that  a  number  from 
both  sections  of  the  Consistory  voluntarily  severed  their  connection 
with  the  Rite.  But  these  defections,  while  slightly  reducing  the 
membership,  were  not  sufficient  to  appreciably  retard  the  progress 
of  the  body  nor  impair  the  good  results  of  the  union.  The  practice 
of  weekly  meetings,  which  had  been  inaugurated  by  Chicago  Con- 
sistory, was  continued  by  the  consolidated  body;  the  enthusiasm  of 
the  members  was  communicated  to  the  Craft  generally  and  large 
numbers  began  to  present  themselves  for  the  honors  of  the  Scottish 
Rite;  the  officers  were  zealous,  the  rank  and  file  harmonious,  and 
everything  betokened  an  era  of  unexampled  prosperity,  when  the 


22  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A.'.ScoTTisn  RITE 

Great  Fire  of  Oct.  9,  1871,  interrupted  the  work  and  for  a  time 
paralyzed  the  energies  of  the  workmen.  But  this  interruption,  as 
has  been  shown,  was  momentary  only,  and  its  effects  were  soon  dis- 
pelled. Regular  meetings  were  resumed  within  a  few  weeks  there- 
after, and  from  that  time  until  the  present  the  advance  has  been 
steady  and  continuous. 

While  all  of  the  years  show  gains  and  all  were  prosperous,  if  we 
shall  regard  prosperity  only  in  the  sense  of  numerical  increase  and 
treasury  balances,  yet  we  may  observe  marked  differences  from 
time  to  time  as  the  Rite  became  better  known  and  its  purposes  more 
fully  understood.  The  first  ten  years  witnessed  a  slow  but  steady 
growth.  From  1880  to  1890  this  growth  became  greatly  accel- 
erated and  the  classes  at  the  semi-annual  conventions  constantly 
gained  in  size.  From  1890  to  1900  the  advance  was  by  leaps  and 
bounds,  and  during  the  present  decennium  the  increase  has  been 
greater  than  at  any  time  in  our  history.  Nor  do  the  portents  for 
the  future  point  to  any  loss  of  interest  in  Scottish  Rite  Masonry 
on  the  part  of  the  Craft  in  general,  or  to  any  diminution  of  the 
numbers  that  will  continue  to  apply  for  a  participation  in  our  labors. 
There  are  those  who  see,  or  affect  to  see,  an  element  of  weakness 
in  our  constantly  augmenting  numbers,  and  who  are  urging  a  return 
to  the  more  conservative  and  exclusive  methods  that  characterized 
the  early  years  of  Occidental  Consistory  before  the  merger.  But, 
beyond  a  little  crowding  on  certain  occasions,  no  bad  results  are  thus 
far  apparent.  The  body,  notwithstanding  its  size,  has  not  become 
unwieldly,  neither  is  it  likely  to  become  so,  and  even  if  it  shall  so 
happen  that  it  will  eventually  attain  such  proportions  as  to  preclude 
a  general  attendance  at  all  sessions,  we  may  yet  rely  on  the  wisdom 
of  the  elders  to  provide  a  suitable  remedy. 

And  now  that  we  are  upon  the  subject  of  growth  a  brief  com- 
parison of  present  conditions  with  those  of  former  years  may  not 
be  out  of  place.  Concerning  the  affairs  of  the  bodies  prior  to  the 
Great  Fire  of  1871,  we  know  but  little.  The  policy  of  Occidental 
Consistory  was  very  exclusive,  and  from  a  report  made  in  1865, 
nearly  ten  years  after  its  organization,  it  appears  that  the  entire 
membership  was  only  eighty-two.  No  figures  are  at  hand  to  show 
the  membership  of  the  consolidated  Consistory  in  1871,  but  from 
the  time  of  the  Great  Fire  until  the  present  the  annual  reports  show 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  23 

constantly  augmenting  numbers.  The  triennial  period  of  1882-84 
seems  to  have  been  the  real  commencement  of  rapid  increase  and 
at  the  end  of  that  term  the  officers  "pointed  with  pride"  to  the  fact 
that  during  the  time  335  new  members  had  been  added  to  the  roll, 
making  a  grand  total  of  710  members  in  good  standing.  In  1887, 
at  the  end  of  the  succeeding  triennial  term,  the  list  had  increased 
to  1,034,  and  on  December  25,  1906,  the  date  of  the  last  report,  the 
books  showed  that  4,213  persons  were  enrolled  under  the  banner 
of  Oriental  Consistory. 

At  the  time  of  the  Great  Fire,  in  1871,  the  co-ordinate  bodies, 
then  but  recently  consolidated,  are  reported  to  have  had  well-ap- 
pointed apartments,  for  those  days,  in  the  old  Masonic  Temple  on 
Dearborn  street.  The  fire,  however,  wiped  out  everything  and  the 
loss  was  total.  At  the  resumption,  after  the  fire,  the  bodies  started 
with  nothing.  Nor  does  it  seem  that  the  treasury  balances  were 
very  plethoric  for  a  number  of  years  thereafter.  During  the  official 
term  of  111.  Bro.  H.  H.  Pond,  Commander  in  Chief,  there  was  a 
marked  increase  in  the  number  of  admissions  and  a  consequent 
increase  in  the  treasury  balance.  But  this  balance  was  not  only 
offset  but  actually  changed  into  a  deficit  by  the  expenses  entailed 
in  fitting  up  new  quarters  at  78  Monroe  street  in  the  year  1884. 
The  reports  at  the  end  of  that  year  showed  that  all  of  the  money  in 
the  treasury  had  been  expended  and  that,  in  addition,  a  debt  of 
$2,714.00  had  been  contracted,  and  it  was. not  until  1887  that  the 
last  of  this  debt  was  paid.  Since  this  latter  year  the  Consistory  has 
made  steady  financial  gains  and  from  the  report  of  the  Grand  Sec- 
retary to  the  annual  meeting  of  1906  we  learn  that  there  was  then 
in  the  treasury  sufficient  cash  to  pay  all  outstanding  obligations, 
leaving  unincumbered  assets  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  $205,- 
197.48. 

A  comparison  of  the  Chicago  bodies  with  those  of  other  cities, 
both  in  the  Southern  and  Northern  Jurisdictions,  reveals  the  pleas- 
ing fact  that  Oriental  Consistory  is,  in  point  of  numbers,  the  largest 
Scottish  Rite  organization  in  the  world ;  that  it  leads  all  of  its  com- 
petitors by  a  safe  margin,  and  that  its  annual  increase  far  exceeds 
that  of  any  other.  From  these  facts  and  in  view  of  the  ample  field 
from  which  it  draws  its  recruits,  may  we  not  safely  predict  that  the 
premiership  now  held  will  be  long  retained? 


24  HISTORY  or  A.'.A/.ScomsH  RITE 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  Oriental  Consistory  closes  its  first  semi- 
centennial period  strong  in  men  and  money ;  that  it  possesses  one  of 
the  finest  buildings  in  the  country  devoted  to  Scottish  Rite  Ma- 
sonry; that  it  has  no  internal  dissensions  and  that  it  is  enjoying,  as 
never  before,  the  respect,  esteem  and  confidence  of  the  Ancient 
Craft  from  which  its  members  are  chosen.

WHERE  a  Masonic  body  of  any  degree  possesses  no  legisla- 
tive powers,  has  no  subordinates,  and  no  function  save 
the  perpetuation  of  its  own  existence  by  the  reception  of 
new  members,  it  necessarily  follows  that  but  scant  material  is  af- 
forded for  the  reviewer's  pen.  Particularly  is  this  true  where  the 
body  has  for  many  years  moved  quietly  along  in  its  accustomed 
grooves,  with  no  interruptions  from  either  without  or  within.  And 
such  has  been  the  history  of  Oriental  Consistory  and  its  co-ordinate 
bodies  from  the  time  of  the  union.  The  incidents  and  episodes 
which  the  historian  has  deemed  worthy  of  mention  will,  to  many, 
perhaps,  seem  trivial  and  insignificant,  and  yet,  in  their  day,  and  to 
the  brethren  who  were  participants,  they  were  considered  of  much 
moment.  From  their  nature  they  must  necessarily  be  treated  in  a 
desultory  manner  and  because  of  the  limitations  of  the  present  work 
such  treatment  must  further  be  general  and  brief. 

One  of  these  incidents  occurred  in  the  year  1872,  or  rather  had 
its  inception  in  that  year,  whereby  the  ranks  of  the  Consistory  were 
considerably  augmented  by  the  practical  absorption  of  two  other 
organizations.  Among  the  charters  issued  by  the  old  Grand  Con- 
sistory of  Illinois  were  a  series  for  the  establishment  of  co-ordinate 
bodies  at  the  City  of  Monmouth  in  Warren  County. 

The  Monmouth  bodies  flourished  for  a  brief  period  and  at 
first  gave  promise  of  a  successful  future.  .But  later  on,  when  the 
available  material  had  been  worked  up  and  the  limited  sources  of 
supply  no  longer  furnished  candidates,  the  inevitable  decay  set  in.

26  HISTORY  OF  A. -.A.'. SCOTTISH  RITE 

Deeming  it  impossible  to  longer  continue  the  organizations  to  ad- 
vantage, the  Consistory  and  Chapter  voted  to  surrender  their  char- 
ters and  consolidate  with  Oriental  Consistory  and  Gourgas  Chapter 
at  Chicago.  The  result  was  a  large  accession  to  the  membership  of 
the  Chicago  bodies,  although  it  was  not  until  1875  that  the  Mon- 
mouth  charters  were  formally  revoked. 

During  the  early  part  of  the  year  1872  Carson  Consistory,  at 
Springfield,  passed  a  like  resolution.  The  conditions  at  Springfield, 
however,  were  not  in  all  respects  the  same  as  at  Monmouth.  There 
was  an  ample  territory  from  which  to  draw  candidates,  and  but 
for  the  explanation  which  was  furnished  to  the  Council  of  Delibera- 
tion by  the  Chiefs  of  Carson  Consistory  the  action  would  seem  in- 
explicable. It  will  be  remembered  that  the  policy  of  all  of  the  Con- 
sistories chartered  by  the  Grand  Consistory  of  Illinois  was  to  make 
the  Master  Mason  degree  the  Masonic  qualification  of  candidates. 
This  policy  was  continued  by  them  after  the  union  of  the  two  Su- 
preme Councils,  and  was  one  of  the  potent  causes  of  friction  be- 
tween Occidental  and  Chicago  Consistories.  Carson  Consistory,  at 
Springfield,  continued  to  pursue  this  course.  This,  it  seems,  was 
hotly  resented  by  the  Knights  Templar  of  the  City,  who  finally  as- 
sumed an  attitude  of  open  hostility  to  the  Scottish  Rite.  A  short 
time  before  the  above  mentioned  action  was  taken  the  Consistory 
had  suffered  a  total  loss  by  fire  of  its  paraphernalia  and  properties, 
and  in  view  of  these  circumstances  the  Chiefs  decided  that  it  would 
be  unwise  to  continue  the  organizations,  as  they  were  in  no  con- 
dition to  operate  them  in  evident  hostility  to  the  Templars.  Of 
course,  there  is  and  can  be,  no  real  antagonism  between  the  bodies 
of  the  York  and  Scottish  Rite,  as  there  is  no  conflict  of  principle. 
But,  economic  reasons,  purely  financial,  may  sometimes  be  found 
by  those  so  desiring  and  when  analyzed  this  seems  to  have  been  the 
real  matter  of  difference  between  Carson  Consistory  and  the  Tem- 
plars. The  consolidation,  however,  did  not  take  place,  although  this 
course  was  recommended  by  the  Council  of  Deliberation.  The  Con- 
sistory was  permitted  to  continue  its  organization  and  to  effect,  if 
possible,  a  reconciliation  with  conflicting  interests.  This,  however, 
it  was  unable  to  do  and  two  years  later,  in  1874,  its  charter  was 
revoked  by  the  Supreme  Council.  At  this  latter  time  a  large  por- 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  27 

tion  of  its  membership  affiliated  with  Oriental  Consistory  and  thus 
was  indirectly  accomplished  the  thing  intended  by  the  resolution  of 
1872. 

In  1873  the  Consistory  adopted  the  present  regulation  uniform 
and  its  first  public  appearance  was  in  November  of  that  year,  when 
it  tendered  an  escort  to  the  Supreme  Council  upon  the  occasion  of 
its  first  session  in  Chicago.  It  must  not  be  understood,  however, 
that  this  period  marks  the  beginning  of  the  employment  of  uniforms 
and  the  adoption  of  military  usages  in  the  bodies  of  the  Scottish 
Rite.  Very  soon  after  its  organization  Chicago  Consistory  devised 
a  semi-military  dress  for  its  members  and  on  several  occasions, 
prior  to  the  merger,  had  appeared  upon  the  streets  and  at  public 
functions  wearing  the  new  garb.  Indeed,  this  was  one  of  the  vital 
points  .of  difference  between  the  rival  Consistories.  After  the  merger 
the  use  of  uniforms  was  sanctioned  by  the  Supreme  Council,  and 
in  1873,  'as  above  stated,  the  present  regulation  dress  was  adopted 
by  the  new  or  consolidated  Consistory. 

So  far  as  the  writer  is  able  to  learn,  the  idea  of  a  uniform,  as  well 
as  the  adoption  of  military  tactics,  originated  in  Chicago.  Certain 
it  is  that  Chicago  Consistory  was  the  first  body  of  the  Rite  in  either 
hemisphere  to  equip  its  members  in  this  manner,  and  while  the 
primal  impulse  must  undoubtedly  be  sought  in  the  military  charac- 
ter of  the  thirty-second  degree,  yet  its  practical  development  is  due 
to  the  ardor  and  enthusiasm  of  the  Princes  of  this  Consistory. 

It  would  seem  that  upon  its  introduction  the  new  departure  met 
with  much  favor.  The  intense  military  spirit  engendered  by  the 
Civil  War  had  not  yet  subsided  and  for  many  men  there  was  an 
irresistible  fascination  in  plumes,  swords,  and  the  other  habiliments 
of  the  soldier.  At  all  events,  the  Princes,  generally,  equipped  them- 
selves with  the  prescribed  clothing,  weapons  and  insignia.  It  would 
also  seem  that  for  some  time  thereafter  the  military  spirit  continued 
to  manifest  itself  in  public  parades  for  escort  and  other  duties.  But 
for  a  number  of  years  past  there  has  been  a  constantly  growing 
sentiment  against  public  displays  of  any  kind,  and  particularly  against 
those  which  involve  parades  and  uniforms  and  the  mimicry  of  mili- 
tary usages.  It  is  now  conceded  by  the  majority  of  the  Craft,  that, 
however  desirable  these  things  may  have  been,  the  day  for  such 
adjuncts  is  long  past.  The  rapid  growth  and  multiplication  of 


28  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A.'.ScoxxiSH  RITE 

imitative  societies;  the  ostentatious  manner  in  which  they  present 
themselves  to  the  public,  clad  in  semi-military  garb;  the  decline  of 
the  old-time  military  fervor,  and  the  increased  attention  bestowed 
upon  the  liturgic  features  of  Masonry,  have  all  combined  to  create 
a  revulsion  of  feeling.  This  feeling  has  been  markedly  shown  in 
the  Consistory,  and  to  this,  in  some  measure,  we  must  attribute 
present  conditions,  though  it  would  seem  that  at  all  times  the  es- 
sential differences  in  the  organization  of  the  Scottish  Rite,  as  com- 
pared with  the  Chivalric  Orders,  as  well  as  the  number  and  exalted 
character  of  its  degrees,  has  tended  to  keep  the  military  features 
in  strict  subordination  to  those  of  the  liturgy. 

At  the  present  time  all  interest  in  the  uniform  seems  to  have 
died  out.  Its  employment,  in  the  main,  is  confined  to  the  exem- 
plification of  the  thirty-second  grade,  and  it  is  worn,  as  a  rule, 
only  by  the  officers  actually  engaged  in  the  work. 

But  while  the  military  spirit  was  still  in  the  ascendant,  and  while 
this  spirit  was  finding  vent  in  parades,  escorts,  and  other  functions 
of  a  public  nature,  a  movement  was  started  looking  toward  the 
"alteration  and  improvement"  of  the  present  standard.  The  move- 
ment seems  to  have  originated  in  Boston  but  soon  spread  to  Chi- 
cago, where  it  was  eagerly  supported  by  the  military  enthusiasts. 
That  the  movement  must  have  acquired  considerable  impetus  is 
shown  in  the  fact  that  it  received  the  attention  of  the  Council  of 
Deliberation  at  its  meeting  in  1877,  when  a  resolution  was  passed 
approving  the  present  uniform  and  requesting  the  Supreme  Coun- 
cil to  permit  no  change.  Soon  after  this  the  decline  in  military 
interest  set  in  and  for  many  years  the  topic  has  remained  quiescent. 

Not  the  least  among  the  many  pleasing  incidents  of  the  past 
are  the  excursions  which  from  time  to  time  have  been  made  to 
other  cities.  These  little  jaunts  are  noted  in  our  records  as  "pil- 
grimages," but  why  they  should  have  been  given  this  name  is  not 
very  apparent.  In  all  probability  the  term  was  borrowed  from  the 
usages  of  the  Knights  Templar,  where  it  has  long  been  employed 
in  this  improper  sense. 

The  first  of  these  so-called  "pilgrimages"  occurred  in  the  year 
1876  when  the  Consistory  tendered  a  military  escort  to  the  Su- 
preme Council  on  the  occasion  of  its  annual  session  at  New  York. 
The  Princes  had  then  but  lately  been  equipped  with  their  new  uni- 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  20 

forms  and  the  martial  spirit  was  in  the  ascendency.  A  vent  for 
the  military  enthusiasm  was  required,  and  a  foreign  campaign  of 
invasion  and  conquest  seemed  desirable  if  not  necessary.  But  this 
was  a  new  experience  for  the  staid  and  decorous  Scottish  Rite 
and  a  marked  departure  from  the  conservative  standards  it  had 
so  long  maintained.  Hence,  the  Grand  Commander,  desirous  of 
pleasing  the  Chicago  contingent  but  unwilling  to  compromise  the 
Supreme  Council,  accepted  the  tender  for  himself  only,  although  in 
the  end  it  resolved  itself  into  an  escort  for  the  entire  body.  It 
seems,  however,  that  the  affair  did  not  pass  without  a  demur  on  the 
part  of  many,  who  feared  that  it  was  but  the  commencement  of  a 
series  of  spectacular  public  displays  such  as  characterize  the  tri- 
ennial meetings  of  the  Grand  Encampment.  But  notwithstanding 
that  the  Chicago  Princes  went  down  to  New  York  with  drums  beat- 
ing and  banners  flying,  incidentally  capturing  the  town  as  well  as 
the  Supreme  Council,  .the  fears  of  the  timid  have  not  yet  material- 
ized and  the  annual  sessions  of  the  governing  body  are  still  con- 
ducted with  the  peace  and  decorum  that  ever  have  constituted  its 
distinguishing  features. 

The  visit  seems  to  have  been  a  very  pleasing  occasion  to  all 
parties  concerned,  while  the  pleasure  was  further  augmented  for 
the  Chicagoans  by  a  side  trip  to  Philadelphia,  where  the  great  Cen- 
tennial Exposition  was  then  in  progress.  At  Philadelphia  the  Con- 
sistory was  the  guest  of  Philadelphia  Consistory,  the  Princes  of 
which  were  lavish  with  hospitalities  and  knightly  courtesies.  On 
their  return  home  these  courtesies  were  duly  acknowledged  by  the 
Orientals  in  an  engrossed  resolution  of  thanks,  and  a  splendid  ban- 
ner of  the  Order  was  sent  to  Philadelphia  Consistory  as  a  memorial 
of  the  visit. 

In  1878  a  similar  pilgrimage  was  made  to  the  City  of  Milwaukee, 
where  the  Consistory  again  performed  the  duties  of  a  guard  of 
honor  at  the  meeting  of  the  Supreme  Council.  In  1883  the  same 
service  was  rendered  at  Cincinnati,  and  again  in  1890  at  Cleveland. 
From  none  other  of  its  subordinate  bodies  has  the  Supreme  Coun- 
cil so  often  received  an  escort,  and  notwithstanding  its  professed 
conservative  character  it  does  not  seem  that  it  has  ever  taken  unkind- 
ly to  them. 


30  HISTORY  OF  A. \A. '.SCOTTISH  RITE 

An  interesting  incident  of  the  Cincinnati  pilgrimage  above  men- 
tioned, was  a  side  trip  to  Louisville  where  an  inspection  was  had 
of  the  Widows'  and  Orphans'  Home  of  Kentucky.  So  impressed 
were  the  pilgrims  with  the  beneficent  work  of  that  institution  that 
a  voluntary  contribution  taken  at  the  time  netted  the  sum  of  $500.00, 
while  on  their  return  to  Chicago  a  further  formal  appropriation  of 
$500.00  was  made  from  the  funds  of  the  Consistory.  These  two 
sums,  amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  $1,000.00,  seem  to  have  been 
the  first  moneys  given  in  aid  of  organized  charity  and  were  the 
precursors  of  the  munificent  donation  of  $5,000.00,  made  a  few 
years  later,  to  aid  the  work  of  the  Illinois  Masonic  Home  of  Chi- 
cago. 

In  addition  to  these  excursions  for  escort  duty  the  Consistory 
has  made  a  number  of  friendly  visits  to  near-by  neighbors.  In  1882 
there  was  an  excursion  to  Peoria,  111.,  the  special  object  of  which 
was  to  assist  in  the  laying  of  the  corner-stone  of  a  new  Masonic 
Temple.  In  1894  the  visit  was  repeated,  and  upon  each  occasion 
the  Princes  returned  highly  delighted  with  the  trip  and  with  the 
attentions  received  from  Peoria  Consistory.  On  Feb.  14,  1883,  a 
friendly  visit  was  paid  to  DeWitt  Clinton  Consistory  of  Grand 
Rapids,  Mich.,  and  at  many  other  times  detachments  of  Oriental's 
Princes  have  unofficially  visited  the  Consistories  of  surrounding 
States  and  thus  renewed  the  bonds  of  good  fellowship  for  which  this 
Rite  of  Freemasonry  is  so  justly  famed. 

The  event  of  the  year  1884  was  the  opening  and  occupation 
of  the  new  Preceptory  at  No.  78  Monroe  street.  The  apartments 
had  been  fitted  up  at  large  expense  with  a  view  to  a  permanent  home 
for  the  bodies,  and  the  feeling  was  general  that  at  last  quarters 
had  been  secured  that  were  not  only  adequate  for  any  emer- 
gency, but  would  endure  for  all  time.  Indeed,  it  is  doubtful 
whether,  at  the  time  of  its  dedication,  it  was  equaled  by  any 
Scottish  Rite  hall  in  the  country,  and  it  certainly  was  surpassed 
by  none.  The  Preceptory  chamber  was  lofty  and  spacious,  the 
ornamentation  rich  and  lavish  and  the  furnishings  of  the  most 
approved  types.  A  stage  of  ample  proportions,  with  all  necessary 
adjuncts,  afforded  opportunity  for  effective  workings  theretofore 
impossible,  while  other  special  features  permitted  the  introduction 
of  many  devices  for  augmenting  the  beauty  and  sublimity  of  the 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907     .  31 

ritual.  A  pipe  organ  of  great  power  and  sweetness  faced  the  stage 
at  the  opposite  end  of  the  chamber,  and  the  lighting  was  so  disposed 
as  to  produce  rich,  harmonious  and  ofttimes  startling  effects.  A 
marked  departure  in  Masonic  hall  construction  was  a  balcony  on 
three  sides  of  the  apartment,  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  West,  if 
not  in  the  United  States. 

The  rooms  used  in  connection  with  the  Preceptory  were  all  in 
keeping  with  the  ideas  expressed  in  that  apartment  and  were  fur- 
nished in  the  same  good  taste  and  lavish  manner.  These  rooms 
remained  the  home  of  the  Consistory  for  about  ten  years  and  when 
they  were  finally  abandoned  under  stress  of  circumstances  there 
were  many  of  the  old-timers  that  left  them  with  a  pang  of  regret. 
In  fact,  even  at  this  day  and  in  view  of  the  palatial  surroundings 
of  our  present  magnificent  quarters,  there  are  still  many  who  feel 
and  say,  there  is  no  place  that  can  compare  with  our  old  home. 

While  the  Consistory  has  often  tendered  its  services  as  an  es- 
cort on  the  occasion  of  funerals  of  its  members,  it  is  a  fact  not 
generally  known,  to  the  younger  members  at  least,  that  it  also 
possesses  an  elaborate  funeral  ritual  of  its  own.  The  Supreme 
Council  has  never  promulgated  a  burial  service  for  members  of 
the  Rite,  nor  have  its  constituents,  as  a  rule,  taken  kindly  to  the 
idea.  But  even  as  the  Chicago  bodies  set  the  pace  in  the  matter 
of  uniforms,  so  also  it  remained  for  them  to  inaugurate  the  practice 
of  Scottish  Rite  funerals.  In  the  year  1884  the  late  distinguished 
Brother,  Norman  T.  Cassette,  composed  and  copyrighted  a  full  ritual 
for  a  funeral  ceremony  to  be  employed  at  the  obsequies  of  members 
of  the  Order.  This  compilation,  together  with  the  copyright,  he 
subsequently  presented  to  Oriental  Consistory  and  on  Sept.  2, 
1884,  it  was  duly  adopted  as  the  official  ceremony  of  the  Consistory 
in  the  conduct  of  funerals  under  its  auspices.  The  service  is  com- 
posed in  blank  verse  of  much  poetic  beauty,  but,  although  generally 
admired  for  its  literary  excellence,  it  has  never  been  very  popular 
and  is  now  but  seldom  employed. 

The  idea  of  a  special  funeral  service  for  the  Consistory  seems, 
like  that  of  the  uniforms,  to  have  been  borrowed  from  the  Tem- 
plars. Just  why  the  simple  and  time-honored  service  for  the  burial 
of  a  Master  Mason  is  not  all-sufficient  for  those  who  desire  Ma- 
sonic burial  or  for  the  friends  who  survive  the  deceased,  is  not 


32  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/.ScomsH  RITE 

very  apparent.  With  the  Templars  it  was  rejected  because  it  did 
not  possess  Christian  characteristics.  For  this  reason  certain  ultra 
devout  brethren  residing  in  New  York,  and  who,  it  would  seem, 
did  not  consider  the  offices  of  the  Church  adequate,  constructed  the 
present  Templar  service  in  order  that  deceased  members  of  the 
Order  of  the  Temple  might  be  given  a  "Christian  burial."  The 
service  was  subsequently  adopted  by  the  Grand  Encampment  and 
ordered  to  be  used  by  the  subordinate  commanderies.  Its  employ- 
ment by  these  bodies  led  to  a  desire  for  a  similar  service  in  the  Con- 
sistory and  this  desire  was  eventually  gratified  by  the  scholarly 
work  of  Bro.  Cassette.  There  is,  however,  a  deep  seated  conviction 
in  the  minds  of  many  eminent  members  of  both  the  Temple  and 
Consistory,  that  the  adoption  and  use  in  those  grades  of  a  funeral 
ceremony  is  a  direct  invasion  of  the  immemorial  rights  which  per- 
tain to  the  Master's  degree,  and  that  the  use  of  such  ceremony  is 
but  a  garish  display  and  wholly  without  symbolic  significance.  In 
this  belief  the  writer  fully  shares  and  further  feels  that  the  dignity 
of  the  Chivalric  grades  is  better  subserved  by  escort  duty  only, 
leaving  the  ceremonies  of  sepulture  to  the  Lodge.  This  course 
also  is  in  keeping  with  the  ancient  traditions  of  the  Orders. 

One  of  the  incidents  of  our  history,  if  indeed  it  does  not  rise 
to  the  dignity  of  an  episode,  occurred  during  the  year  1887,  and 
consisted  of  the  formation  of  an  auxiliary  organization  in  a  neigh- 
boring city.  At  that  time  there  were  residing  in  or  near  the  city 
of  Danville  about  thirty  Princes  who  had  obtained  investiture  in 
Oriental  Consistory.  The  policy  of  the  Supreme  Council  was  then 
averse  to  the  multiplication  of  bodies,  but  the  Danville  Princes  were 
ardent  and  enthusiastic  and  a  vent  was  needed.  This  was  supplied 
by  111.  Bro.  Alfred  Russell,  the  Commander  in  Chief,  who  instituted 
a  new  and  wholly  unique  experiment.  He  organized  the  Princes 
into  a  "camp,"  which  he  called  Danville  Camp,  and  committed  to 
their  charge  the  ritual  of  the  Nineteenth  Grade,  with  the  special 
privilege  of  its  exemplification.  The  experiment  proved  eminently 
successful,  and  at  the  Fall  Convention  of  that  year  the  "camp" 
worked  the  degree  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  members  of  the 
Consistory  as  well  as  the  edification  of  a  large  and  appreciative  class 
of  candidates.  The  event  is  noteworthy  for  two  reasons;  first,  it 
was  the  first  time  that  the  degree  had  ever  been  conferred  in 


VINCENT  L.  HURLBUT,  33°, 

PAST  COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF,  OCCIDENTAL  CONSISTORY. 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  33 

Oriental  Consistory,  and  second,  the  only  degree  that  has  ever  been 
exemplified  by  a  body  of  workers  residing  outside  of  Chicago  and 
holding  no  official  positions.  From  this  circumstance,  probably,  we 
may  trace  the  movement  that  finally  culminated  in  the  organization 
of  Danville  Lodge  of  Perfection. 

During  the  entire  fifty  years  of  the  existence  of  the  Consistory 
the  regular  succession  of  Commanders  in  Chief  has  been  but  once 
disturbed  by  death.  With  this  exception  all  of  the  elected  Com- 
manders have  duly  served  their  respective  terms  of  office  and 
retired  from  their  posts  with  the  laurels  of  past  rank. 
At  the  regular  triennial  election  held  on  December  22,  1887,  111. 
Bro.  George  R.  McClellan  was  elected  Commander,  an  office 
which  he  continued  to  acceptably  fill  until  Jan.  10,  1890,  when  he 
died,  leaving  almost  a  year  of  his  term  still  pending.  The  con- 
stitutions of  the  Supreme  Council  direct  that  in  an  emergency  of 
this  kind  the  next  officer  in  rank  shall  assume  the  office  and  exercise 
the  prerogatives  of  the  deceased  Commander.  This  was  done  in 
the  case  under  review  and  111.  Bro.  George  M.  Moulton,  then  First 
Lieutenant,  duly  succeeded  to  the  office  and  performed  the  duties  of 
Commander  for  the  residue  of  the  term. 

Toward  the  close  of  the  8o's  the  membership  of  the  Consistory 
had  grown  to  such  proportions  and  the  classes  at  the  semi-annual 
conventions  had  attained  such  size,  that  the  accommodations  of  the 
Monroe  Street  Preceptory  were  felt  to  be  inadequate.  Larger  and 
better  quarters  were  desired  and  the  idea  of  a  "cathedral"  was  even 
then  nascent  in  the  minds  of  many.  But  the  realization  of  this  idea 
was  still  far  in  the  future  and  another  period  of  temporary  residence 
must  intervene  before  the  true  "home"  project  was  finally  to  ma- 
terialize. About  this  time  the  late  Norman  T.  Cassette  came  forward 
with  a  plan  for  a  colossal  building,  to  be  erected  primarily  for  com- 
mercial purposes,  in  which  all  of  the  Masonic  bodies  meeting  in  the 
business  district  could  find  accommodations.  Notwithstanding  the 
magnitude  of  the  enterprise  and  the  immense  cost  at  which  it  was  to 
be  carried  out,  the  project  met  with  much  favor  in  many  directions. 
The  Consistory,  as  a  prospective  tenant,  subscribed  for  $25,000.00 
worth  of  the  stock  of  the  building  company  and  later  entered  into 
a  lease  of  space,  where,  it  was  said,  would  be  provided  the  "finest 
Masonic  apartments  in  the  world."  In  due  time  the  building  was 


34  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/.ScoxTisH  RITE 

completed  and  now  constitutes  tKe  massive  structure  located  at  State 
and  Randolph  streets,  popularly  known  as  the  "Masonic  Temple." 

In  the  month  of  May,  1893,  the  Consistory  moved  into  its  new 
quarters  in  the  Masonic  Temple.  The  general  impression  was  one 
of  disappointment.  The  building  had  been  constructed  for  commer- 
cial purposes  and  however  well  adapted  for  such  purposes  did  not 
meet  the  requirements  of  well  appointed  Masonic  halls.  For  another 
ten  years,  however,  this  was  destined  to  be  the  home  of  the  Consis- 
tory and  its  co-ordinate  bodies,  and  during  this  period  and  in  these 
quarters  were  developed  many  of  the  beautiful  liturgic  features  that 
now  characterize  the  esoteric  work.  But  almost  from  the  begin- 
ning of  the  occupation  there  was  a  spirit  of  unrest ;  a  desire  for  some- 
thing better.  This  spirit  intensified  as  the  ranks  continued  to  aug- 
ment and  the  congestion  increased,  until  finally  a  bold  experiment 
by  the  organization  known  as  the  Mystic  Shrine  led  the  way  to  a 
realization  of  the  long  delayed  hope  of  a  "permanent  home."  Of 
this,  later. 

The  year  1893  is  memorable  for  many  things  but  particularly 
from  the  fact  that  in  this  year  occurred  the  World's  Columbian  Ex- 
position. This  circumstance  brought  many  strangers  to  our  doors, 
visitors  being  present  from  all  parts  of  the  earth.  At  a  stated  ren- 
dezvous of  the  Consistory,  held  June  25,  1891,  an  effort  was  made 
to  provide  in  some  measure  for  visiting  members  of  the  Rite.  A 
committee  was  appointed  to  create  and  disburse  a  special  fund  to  be 
raised  by  voluntary  subscriptions,  the  fund  to  be  employed  in  such 
form  of  entertainment  as  would  "be  in  keeping  with  our  reputation 
as  Masons  and  to  equal,  if  not  surpass,  entertainments  that  are  now 
being  planned  by  other  societies  of  a  kindred  nature."  An  appeal 
was  made  by  the  committee  and  a  generous  response  followed,  and 
even  though  the  fund  did  not  realize  the  size  anticipated  by  its  pro- 
jectors, nor  the  entertainments  reach  the  scale  of  magnificence  they 
had  desired,  yet  during  this  memorable  year  Oriental  Consistory,  and 
the  Princes  of  its  household,  fully  sustained  Chicago's  reputation  for 
hearty  and  whole-souled  hospitality.  On  September  I9th  of  this 
year  the  Supreme  Council  held  its  eighty-first  annual  session  in 
Chicago.  It  had  been  intended  that  this  meeting,  coinciding  as  it 
did  with  the  Fall  Convention  of  Oriental  Consistory,  should  be 
"the  nucleus  of  a  World's  Congress  of  Scottish  Rite  Masons,"  and 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  35 

to  that  end  invitations  were  issued  to  the  Supreme  Councils  of  the 
world.  While  the  session  cannot  be  said  to  have  reached  the  dig- 
nity just  mentioned,  it  was  yet  most  interesting  and  important.  Many 
representatives  of  foreign  bodies,  both  supreme  and  subordinate, 
were  present  as  visitors  and  it  may  fairly  be  said  that  "by  friendly 
intercourse  and  exchange  of  fraternal  courtesies"  the  bonds  of 
brotherhood  "between  Scottish  Rite  Masons  of  the  different  na- 
tions" were  materially  strengthened. 

In  the  year  1896  the  Consistory  acquired  the  collection  of  books 
and  curios  popularly  known  as  the  Acacia  Library,  and  from 
that  time  on  has  maintained  and  added  to  the  same,  until  at  pres- 
ent it  is  one  of  the  largest  and  most  valuable  Masonic  libraries 
in  the  world.  By  this  act  the  Consistory  has  proclaimed  itself  as 
not  only  a  teacher  of  Masonry  by  oral  tradition  but  by  academic 
methods  of  study  as  well.  It  has  become  a  patron  and  conservator 
of  Masonic  literature  and  art,  affording  to  the  candidates  for  its 
degrees  the  most  ample  means  for  the  thorough  and  exhaustive 
study  of  Masonry  in  all  of  its  branches.  As  it  teaches  in  its  regular 
curriculum  the  learning  of  the  "higher  degrees,"  may  we  not  also 
say,  in  view  of  the  advantages  it  now  offers  to  the  Masonic  student, 
that  in  the  scholastic  scheme  of  Freemasonry  it  should  properly 
be  classed  as  an  institution  of  "higher  education" — a  Masonic  uni- 
versity ? 

The  collection  represents  the  life  work  of  the  writer  of  these 
lines  as  a  collector  of  Masonic  books.  It  has  grown  with  him; 
has  taken  not  a  little  of  his  time  and  much  of  his  thought.  May 
he  not  be  pardoned  then  for  his  references  to  this  feature  of  our  or- 
ganization, and  for  deeming  it  of  sufficient  importance  to  merit 
a  supplementary  chapter  devoted  wholly  to  itself? 

At  the  annual  reunion  in  April,  1901,  the  co-ordinate  bodies  duly 
celebrated  the  Centennial  Anniversary  of  the  organization  of  the 
first  Supreme  Council  in  the  world,  viz:  the  body  organized  at 
Charleston,  S.  C,  in  1801,  and  now  known  as  the  Supreme  Coun- 
cil for  the  Southern  Jurisdiction.  They  were  honored  on  this  occa- 
sion by  the  presence  of  the  Grand  Commander  of  that  jurisdiction, 
111.  Bro.  James  D.  Richardson,  and  by  that  of  111.  Bro.  H.  L.  Palmer, 
Grand  Commander  of  the  Northern  Jurisdiction,  as  well  as  many 
other  distinguished  guests  from  both  sides  of  the  line.  In  many 


36  HISTORY  OF  A/.A.'.ScornsH  RITE 

respects  this  celebration  is  regarded  as  one  of  the  most  notable  in 
our  history.  Never  before  had  so  many  distinguished  Masons 
come  together  in  our  Preceptory  and  rarely  has  there  been  a  larger 
class  of  candidates  (224)  or  a  greater  attendance  of  our  members. 
A  medal  was  struck  to  commemorate  the  occasion  and  the  exercises 
closed  with  a  grand  banquet  at  the  Auditorium  Hotel.  As  a  tribute 
of  respect  to  the  guest  of  the  evening  a  beautiful  "loving  cup," 
suitably  inscribed,  was  presented  to  Bro.  Richardson,  while  Bro. 
Palmer  was  also  remembered  by  a  magnificent  gavel  of  ivory,  ebony 
and  gold.  This  gavel  Bro.  Palmer  now  uses  when  presiding  over 
the  Supreme  Council  and  says  that  he  will  continue  so  to  use  it 
as  long  as  he  shall  remain  Grand  Commander,  "in  acknowledgment 
of  the  loyalty  of  Oriental  Consistory." 

An  important  feature  of  the  social  and  fraternal  life  of  the 
Consistory  is  the  annual  series  of  receptions  which  for  many  years 
have  been  given  during  the  winter  months.  The  primary  object 
of  these  receptions  is  to  cultivate  and  foster  a  closer  social  inti- 
macy between  the  members  by  bringing  them  together  with  their 
families,  and  this  object,  to  a  large  extent,  has  certainly  been  accom- 
plished. Indeed,  they  have  been  unqualified  social  successes  from 
the  start  and  to  their  influence  may  be  attributed  some  measure  of 
the  general  prosperity  that  for  so  long  has  attended  the  bodies  of 
the  Rite  in  Chicago.  While  social  functions,  of  some  kind,  have 
always  figured  in  our  history,  yet  the  inauguration  of  a  series 
of  annual  receptions  dates  only  from  the  early  8o's  and  the  move- 
ment seems  to  have  been  inspired  by  111.  Bro.  Robert  M.  Johnson, 
familiarly  and  lovingly  known  as  "Bob"  Johnson.  This  indefatiga- 
ble Prince,  if  he  did  not  conceive  the  project,  is  yet  entitled  to  the 
chief  credit  for  the  successful  conduct  of  the  receptions  for  many 
years.  But  with  the  name  of  Bro.  Johnson  must  be  coupled  that 
of  111.  Bro.  Alfred  Russell.  For  many  years  the  card  room  was 
his  special  province  and  whatever  of  success  this  method  of  recrea- 
tion brought  to  the  receptions  was  in  large  measure  due  to  his 
efforts. 

Of  late  there  has  been  a  tendency  to  enlarge  the  sphere  of  social 
intercourse  and  enjoyment  by  the  members  and  their  families. 
The  spacious  and  well  appointed  quarters  in  which  we  are  now  in- 
stalled afford  means  for  forms  of  entertainment  which  heretofore 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  37 

have  been  lacking,  and  the  concert,  lecture,  and  other  lyceum 
features,  will  in  the  future  be  among  the  attractions  of  Consistory 
life. 

During  the  early  8o's  there  was  introduced  a  pleasing  custom, 
which  afterward  became  very  popular,  of  having  the  members  of  a 
class  of  candidates  photographed  together,  or  in  a  group.  As  the 
classes  continued  to  increase  in  size,  and  the  group  became  imprac- 
ticable, the  individual  portraits  were  collected  and  formed  into  one 
picture.  Duplicates  were  retained  by  the  members  of  the  class  and 
the  original  from  which  they  were  made  was  presented  to  the  Con- 
sistory "as  a  lasting  memorial"  of  the  donors.  While  wall  space 
was  ample  and  the  class  pictures  modest  in  size  these  gifts  were 
found  very  acceptable.  But  in  an  evil  hour  it  occurred  to  the  lead- 
ing spirits  of  a  fall  class  that  their  picture  should  be  in  some  re- 
spects, at  least,  just  a  little  better  than  that  of  the  class  of  the  pre- 
ceding spring.  Would  that  some  Wolsey  had  appeared  at  this 
juncture  to  charge  them  to  "fling  away  ambition."  If  it  be  true 
that  "by  that  sin  fell  the  angels,"  it  is  also  certainly  true  that  this 
was  the  downfall  of  the  class  picture.  For  each  succeeding  class 
then  vied  with  its  predecessor  for  something  better.  Finally  the 
pictures  became  so  large  and  elaborate  in  their  settings  that  they 
could  no  longer  be  hung  upon  the  wall,  even  if  space  could  be  found, 
and  so  they  were  placed  upon  the  floor  in  magnificently  carved 
easels.  That  marked  the  limit.  And  so,  the  fiat  went  forth, 
"The  class  picture  must  go,"  and  it  went. 

Stored  away  somewhere  in  the  roomy  attic  of  the  Preceptory 
there  are  scores  of  class  pictures,  portraits  of  old-timers,  and  other 
objects  that  in  an  earlier  and  less  esthetic  age  gladdened  the  eyes 
of  the  Princes.  They  are  not  of  much  artistic  value,  perhaps,  but 
they  bring  pleasant  recollections  to  many  of  the  eiders,  nor  can  they 
be  wholly  without  interest  to  the  youngers.  It  would  be  well  if  in 
our  present  spacious  halls  we  could  have  one  room,  if  no  more,  de- 
voted to  these  historical  relics.  Indeed,  they  are  much  in  the  nature 
of  ancestral  portraits.  They  represent  our  predecessors  in  Masonic 
lineage,  and  if  we  have  any  pride  of  ancestry  and  live  not  for  our- 
selves alone  in  this  fleeting  present,  their  faces  and  their  memory 
should  not  be  blotted  out. 


38  HISTORY  OF  A/.A.-. SCOTTISH  RITE 

Immediately  after  the  Great  Fire  of  1871,  a  religious  society, 
under  the  leadership  of  the  Rev.  Robert  Collyer,  erected  at  the  corner 
of  Dearborn  avenue  and  Walton  place,  in  the  North  Division  of  the 
City  of  Chicago,  one  of  the  largest  and  finest  church  buildings  in  the 
West.  The  structure  was  known  as  Unity  Church  and  for  many 
years,  particularly  during  Mr.  Collyer's  pastorate,  its  congregation 
was  one  of  the  largest  in  the  city.  But  the  ever  changing  character 
of  the  residence  districts  had  its  usual  disastrous  effect  upon  Unity 
Church.  The  congregation  dwindled  and  the  pastor  left  his  flock 
for  better  fields.  Finally,  further  church  services  became  imprac- 
ticable and  the  building,  together  with  its  attendant  mortgage,  was 
placed  upon  the  market.  At  this  juncture  the  Shriners  came  along. 
They  were  themselves  without  a  home  and  this  discarded  church 
seemed  like  a  special  dispensation  of  Providence  in  their  favor.  The 
building  was  purchased,  remodeled,  and  adapted  to  the  uses  of  the 
followers  of  the  Prophet.  The  Princes  of  Oriental  Consistory  cast 
longing  eyes  on  the  new  acquisition  of  their  Moslem  brethren.  It 
fulfilled  the  dream  of  years,  but — the  Saracens  had  captured  it  and 
the  only  hope  for  its  use  was  a  treaty  with  the  enemies  of  the  faith. 

Through  the  efforts  of  111.  Bro.  J.  B.  McFatrich,  the  Commander 
in  Chief,  options  were  secured  on  the  adjacent  property,  which  event- 
ually passed  into  the  ownership  of  the  Consistory.  The  substantial 
mansion  on  one  of  the  tracts  purchased  was  easily  adapted  to  our 
wants ;  a  large  and  commodious  banquet  hall,  and  over  this  a  palatial 
preceptory  chamber,  was  erected  in  the  rear,  and  at  last  Oriental 
Consistory  had  a  home  of  its  own'  and  one  that  compared  favorably 
with  the  best  in  any  land.  But  to  still  further  augment  the  facili- 
ties, both  for  social  intercourse  and  effective  work,  a  treaty  of  alli- 
ance was  negotiated  with  the  Shriners  whereby  the  Consistory  has 
the  use  of  the  church  building  and  appurtenances,  now  called  Me- 
dinah  Temple,  for  a  period  of  ninety-nine  years,  and  an  option  of 
purchase  in  case  the  property  shall  again  be  placed  upon  the  market. 
Experts  who  have  inspected  the  buildings  pronounce  them  the  largest 
and  finest  structures  devoted  to  Freemasonry  anywhere  in  the  world. 
The  first  occupation  of  the  new  quarters,  for  the  purpose  of  work, 
was  on  the  occasion  of  the  semi-annual  convention  in  April,  1905, 
and  on  May  4,  following,  the  halls  and  apartments  were  formally 
dedicated  to  the  uses  of  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  by  the  Supreme 
Council. 


CHAPTER   VI. 
THE  LIBRARY. 

THE  PRESENT  THE  AGE  OF  LIBRARIES — EARLY  EFFORTS  AT  LIBRARY  BUILDING  IN 
ILLINOIS — COLLECTIONS  OF  ORIENTAL  CONSISTORY — ORIGIN  AND  GROWTH — 
DONATIONS — CHARACTER  AND  GENERAL  SCOPE  OF  THE  COLLECTION — PRESENT 
NEEDS  OF  THE  LIBRARY. 

IT  has  been  said,  that  in  literature  the  present  time  may  be  aptly 
termed  the  "age  of  libraries."  Never  before,  perhaps,  has  the 
specializing  of  literary  collections  been  so  great  or  so  wide- 
spread, and  certainly  never  before  has  that  form  of  specialization 
known  as  "Masonic"  libraries  received  so  much  attention  as  at  pres- 
ent. .But  few  of  the  Grand  Lodges  of  the  country  are  now  unpro- 
vided with  some  sort  of  a  collection  to  which  resort  may  be  had  by 
its  officers  and  committees  for  information  on  mooted  points,  while 
in  a  number  of  jurisdictions  these  collections  have  assumed  the  form 
of  large  and  well  arranged  libraries.  The  great  jurisdiction  of  Illi- 
nois, the  second  in  numerical  strength,  and  with  assets  in  the  treasury 
of  its  Grand  Lodge  second  to  none,  is  one  of  the  few,  however,  which 
does  not  possess  a  library  nor  even  the  semblance  of  one.  And 
yet,  when  Grand  Lodge  was  struggling  in  the  throes  of  poverty 
and  overcoming  the  remnants  of  prejudice  left  by  the  anti-Masonic 
excitement  of  1830,  the  cause  of  education  was  a  live  and  engrossing 
theme  with  the  representatives  and  a  library  was  regarded  as  an 
"imperative  necessity."  But,  unfortunately,  for  we  cannot  regard  it 
in  any  other  light,  there  seems  to  have  been  for  many  years  a 
marked  division  of  sentiment  in  Grand  Lodge  with  respect  to  this 
field  of  endeavor.  On  one  side  have  been  the  advocates  of  liberal 
views  with  respect  to  the  purport  and  mission  of  Freemasonry,  on 
the  other  the  "strict  obstructionists,"  who  have  ever  opposed  all 
attempts  to  introduce  measures  for  which  an  express  precedent  could 
not  be  found  in  Anderson's  Constitutions.  As  a  rule  these  latter 

39 


40  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A.'.ScoxxisH  RITE 

have  generally  been  able  to  secure  the  adoption  of  their  own  opin- 
ions, and,  as  a  consequence,  Illinois  is  in  many  particulars  behind  its 
more  enlightened  contemporaries. 

In  a  few  of  the  older  lodges  there  will  be  found  a  bookcase  with 
a  set  of  Morris'  Universal  Masonic  Library,  a  part  of  the  files  of  the 
Grand  Bodies  of  Illinois,  and  a  few  monitors  and  works  on  Masonic 
Jurisprudence.  These  are  mainly  the  relics  of  the  spasm  of  "educa- 
tion" which  convulsed  the  jurisdiction  during  the  "fifties."  Once 
in  a  while  some  earnest  and  thoughtful  brother  succeeds  in  arousing 
a  languid  interest  in  Masonic  literature  in  the  local  bodies  of  his 
obedience  and  for  a  time  a  genuine  effort  is  put  forth  to  secure  a 
library.  But  such  efforts  are  usually  fitful,  short-lived  and  unpro- 
ductive of  permanent  results.  As  a  rule,  lodge  libraries  have  not 
been  successful  either  in  this  or  other  jurisdictions.  A  well  kept 
library  implies  a  librarian,  and  a  Masonic  librarian,  to  be  successful, 
must  be  a  book-worm  who  works  con  amore;  and,  in  addition,  who 
possesses  a  well  developed  faculty  for  earnest  and  persistent  begging. 
Without  such  a  man  to  direct  and  manage  it,  no  Masonic  library  will 
ever  attain  any  high  degree  of  success  or  become  an  active  instru- 
ment of  education. 

Not  the  least  interesting  of  the  possessions  of  Oriental  Con- 
sistory is  its  now  famous  library  of  Masonic  literature.  This 
library  had  its  inception  in  the  desire  of  the  writer  of  these  lines 
for  a  broader  and  more  specific  knowledge  of  the  Masonic  Insti- 
tution than  is  afforded  in  the  meager  and  ofttimes  misleading  lec- 
tures of  the  Lodge.  Accordingly,  soon  after  his  initiation  he  began 
the  collecting  of  Masonic  books.  At  first  these  books  were  of  an 
elementary  nature;  the  received  expositions  of  the  monitor  com- 
pilers and  the  imaginative  histories  of  Oliver  and  similar  writers. 
But,  with  a  growing  knowledge  of  the  subject  came  a  desire  for 
more  thorough  and  critical  investigations,  and  the  first  crude  at- 
tempts at  original  research.  He  was  further  stimulated  by  the 
writers  of  the  modern  English  school  of  Masonic  historical  criti- 
cism, which  at  that  time  had  just  commenced  its  labors.  As  a 
result  his  collection  grew  with  years  until  finally  his  modest  home 
became  too  small  to  properly  house  the  books  and  other  documents 
he  had  brought  together.  A  relief  from  this  congestion  was  af- 
forded in  the  year  1890,  when  a  social  organization  composed 


WALTER  A.  STEVENS,  33°, 

GRAND  COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF  OF  THE  GRAND  CONSISTORY  OF  ILLINOIS,  1866. 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  41 

of  Master  Masons  and  known  as  the  "Acacia  Club,"  offered  a 
home  for  the  library  with  generous  assistance  in  its  extension.  The 
collection  was  then  transferred  to  the  Club's  house,  No.  105  Ash- 
land boulevard,  where  it  remained  for  the  ensuing  five  years.  In 
1895  the  Club  disbanded  and  for  a  few  months  the  library  lay  in 
storage  and  without  a  home.  At  this  juncture  the  Consistory  came 
forward  with  an  offer  of  permanent  quarters  and  perpetual  care 
of  the  collection,  and  it  was  accordingly  transferred  to  the  Con- 
sistory parlors  in  the  Masonic  Temple.  From  thence  hitherto  it 
has  remained  in  the  custody  and  under  the  care  of  Oriental  Con- 
sistory and  is  known  to  the  Craft,  and  librarians  generally,  as  the 
"Library  of  Oriental  Consistory." 

With  the  single  exception  of  the  Library  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  Iowa,  this  is  the  largest  and  most  valuable  collection  of  Masonic 
literature  in  the  Middle  West.  No  other  Masonic  body  in  the 
State,  either  grand  or  subordinate,  possesses  anything  like  it,  and 
owing  to  the  extreme  rarity  of  many  of  the  works  it  is  not  prob- 
able that  any  attempt  will  be  made  to  duplicate  it  in  the  future. 
This  collection  will  remain,  therefore,  the  Masonic  Library  of  the 
State  of  Illinois. 

From  time  to  time  the  library  has  been  enriched  by  the  gener- 
ous donations  of  other  collectors  and  in  this  way  has  practically 
absorbed  nearly  all  of  the  private  collections.  Just  prior  to  its 
taking  over  by  the  Consistory,  it  acquired  from  St.  Bernard  Com- 
mandery,  K.  T.,  the  extensive  collection  of  the  late  John  O.  Dicker- 
son.  This  collection,  although  consisting  in  the  main  of  duplicates, 
was  yet  of  great  value  in  the  assistance  it  afforded  for  exchanges 
with  other  libraries.  Since  its  acquisition  by  the  Consistory  it  has 
received  the  private  collections  of  Bro.  John  McLaren  and  the  late 
Bro.  Vincent  L.  Hurlbut.  These  include  many  rare  and  valuable 
matters  relating  to  the  early  history  of  the  Craft  in  this  State. 
Bros.  Frank  L.  Gerwig,  Louis  Keefer  and  J.  C.  Collins  have  also 
greatly  assisted  the  library  by  liberal  donations  of  money,  which 
has  been  expended  by  the  Librarian  for  books  which  have  been 
credited  to  them  as  donors.  Individual  members  of  the  Consistory 
have  also  contributed  many  valuable  works.  It  is  difficult  to  make 
mention  of  these  latter  without  including  the  names  of  all  donors, 
but  a  glance  over  our  serial  catalogue  will  show  that  Bros.  John  C. 


42  HISTORY  OF  A/. A. '.SCOTTISH  RITE 

Smith  and  Gil.  W.  Barnard  are  among  the  most  generous  of  our 
patrons.  The  serial  catalogue,  which  is  sent  to  all  members  of  the 
Consistory,  gives  the  method  of  acquisition  of  all  of  the  books 
therein  mentioned,  and  the  names  and  addresses  of  all  donors. 

The  library  already  compares  favorably  with  the  best  of  other 
jurisdictions,  and  as  time  rolls  on  and  the  collection  grows  in  size 
and  importance  we  may  reasonably  expect  that  it  will  eventually 
become  one  of  the  great  specialty  libraries  of  the  world.  Many 
of  its  books  and  pamphlets  are  now  exceedingly  rare,  a  few  are 
almost  unique,  while  there  is  none  that  does  not  possess  a  positive 
literary  value. 

The  library  is  intended,  as  all  libraries  should  be,  as  an  educa- 
tional agent.  It  covers  not  only  the  field  of  Masonry  proper,  but 
all  cognate  subjects,  and  presents  to  every  inquiring  mind  almost 
unlimited  opportunity  for  special  investigation.  Men  are  devoting 
more  time  than  formerly  to  the  study  of  Freemasonry.  They  are 
discovering  that  beneath  the  dry  husk  of  ritualism  there  is  a  rich 
kernel;  that  Masonic  history  and  archaeology  is  a  fascinating  field 
for  exploration;  that  the  evolution  of  the  Masonic  Fraternity  is 
among  the  most  interesting  of  sociologic  phenomena;  that  the  phi- 
losophy and  symbolism  of  Masonry  are  its  real  secrets,  and  that 
these  secrets  can  be  discovered  only  by  patient,  laborious  and  well 
directed  effort.  This  being  true,  it  follows  that  to  afford  the  means 
of  research,  to  promote,  stimulate  and  encourage  thought,  a  well- 
selected  library  is  indispensable. 

As  before  remarked,  the  collection  includes  not  only  the  stand- 
ard works  on  Freemasonry  proper,  but  also  those  of  its  related  sci- 
ences, as  well  as  other  matters  of  a  cognate  character.  This  is  es- 
sential to  a  proper  understanding  of  the  general  theme.  As  has 
been  well  said  by  the  late  Albert  Pike,  "a  few  rudimental  lessons 
in  architecture,  a  few  universally  admitted  maxims  of  morality,  a 
few  unimportant  traditions,  whose  real  meaning  is  unknown  or 
misunderstood,  will  no  longer  satisfy  the  earnest  inquirer  after 
Masonic  truths."  Hence,  the  old-time  ideas  of  what  should  con- 
stitute a  Masonic  library  must  be  discarded.  The  field  of  investiga- 
tion must  be  enlarged  and  the  searcher  must  be  given  more  ample 
opportunities  than  were  formerly  considered  necessary.  With  these 
facts  constantly  in  view  the  Librarian  has  added  many  books  that 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  43 

deal  with  Masonry  only  indirectly  and  the  library  is  particularly  rich 
in  works  treating  of  the  Crusaders,  the  Ancient  Military  Fraterni- 
ties, Heraldry,  Medieval  Chivalry  and  Knighthood.  Equally  marked 
prominence  has  been  given  to  Ancient  Jewish  History,  Talmudical 
literature,  and  the  writings  of  the  Jewish  mystics.  Architecture, 
in  lines  of  purely  Masonic  interest,  is  well  represented,  but  as  the 
Fraternity  is  now  composed  of  fairly  well  educated  men,  we  have 
touched  but  lightly  the  academic  ideas  involved  in  the  "seven  liberal 
arts  and  sciences."  Symbolism  and  Philosophy,  particularly  as  they 
may  affect  Masonic  thought,  have  not  been  neglected,  and  as  ger- 
mane to  this  purpose  the  library  contains  a  large  number  of  works 
relating  to  the  religions  of  primitive  peoples,  and  to  those  of  the 
ancient  Egyptians  and  Assyrians.  The  modern  analytic  school  of 
Masonic  History  is  represented  by  all  of  its  principal  writers  and  by 
copies  of  the  old  charges  and  other  documents  upon  which  the  stu- 
dents of  the  Craft  are  now  at  work.  No  American  library  has  more 
available  matter  of  this  character  than  the  Library  of  Oriental  Con- 
sistory and  the  means  are  ample  for  original  study  along  the  lines  of 
modern  Masonic  historical  and  textual  criticism.  The  foregoing  will 
give  some  faint  ideas  concerning  the  extent  and  scope  of  our  collec- 
tion, but  its  true  worth  can  be  adequately  estimated  only  by  actual  in- 
spection and  use. 

At  present  the  third  floor  front  of  the  Consistory  building  has 
been  fitted  up  for  library  purposes,  but  this  space  does  not  afford 
adequate  room  for  the  proper  display  of  all  of  our  treasures.  Be- 
sides books  we  have  many  articles  of  historic  and  educational  value. 
Old  charters,  diplomas  and  passports,  some  of  them  dating  back  to 
the  closing  years  of  the  eighteenth  century  and  bearing  the  signa- 
tures of  the  fathers  of  this  Rite  of  Freemasonry.  Rare  and  valu- 
able ancient  engravings,  implements,  tools,  and  other  objects  em- 
ployed in  the  early  workings  of  the  Craft,  both  in  our  own  State  and 
abroad.  Not  the  least  interesting  is  our  collection  of  Masonic 
aprons,  particularly  those  of  the  Scottish  Rite.  Of  these  latter  we 
have  probably  one  of  the  finest  collections  in  the  world,  including 
specimens  from  many  of  the  Spanish-American  countries.  To 
properly  house  and  display  all  of  these  matters  requires  space. 
Wherefore  let  us  hope  that  in  the  near  future  we  shall  see  our 


44  HISTORY  OF  A/.A.'.SCOTTISH  RITE 

magnificent  collection  duly  installed  in  special  rooms  of  its  own 
and  so  disposed  as  to  be  open  at  all  times  for  use  and  inspection  of 
the  members. 

One  word  in  closing.  A  few  of  our  books  were  acquired  by 
purchase  and  the  Librarian  is  still  in  the  market  as  a  buyer  of  any- 
thing that  is  rare  and  valuable.  But  the  great  bulk  of  our  literary 
possessions  has  come  to  us  as  freewill  offerings.  Brethren  who 
have  old  and  rare  books,  charts,  diplomas,  medals,  aprons  and 
jewels,  are  not  only  invited  but  urged  to  deposit  them  in  the  Library. 
This  is  the  way  in  which  all  great  collections  are  made.  And  in 
no  better  or  more  secure  manner  can  a  man  hand  down  his  name 
to  the  generations  that  are  to  follow.  All  donations  will  be  cred- 
ited to  the  donor  in  the  catalogues  and  his  name  will  be  entered 
upon  the  indexes,  and  years  hence,  when  the  literary  element  of  the 
Craft  shall  have  developed,  the  student  will  call  down  blessings  on 
the  heads  of  those  who  at  this  time  have  rescued  and  preserved 
the  memorials.  If  you  have  no  books  or  other  objects  of  interest, 
do  not,  for  that  reason  be  despondent.  You  may  still  sit  with  the 
immortals.  The  Librarian  will  accept  your  cash  donation  and  ex- 
pend it  for  works  that  can  be  obtained  only  by  purchase.  In  such 
event,  however,  the  glory  will  all  be  yours  and  the  books  will 
appear  in  our  catalogues  and  announcements  credited  to  you  as 
donations. 


CHAPTER   VII. 
THE  CO-ORDINATE  BODIES. 

THE  HISTORY  OF  THE  CONSISTORY  THAT  OF  THE  CO-ORDINATE  BODIES — DEVELOP- 
MENT OF  RITUALS— OBSERVANCE  OF  FEAST  DAYS  AND  MASONIC  HOLIDAYS — 
SEMI-ANNUAL  CONVENTIONS — EARLY  NOMENCLATURE — MEMBERSHIP  IN  THE 
EARLY  BODIES — MANNER  OF  ELECTIONS — ORIGIN  OF  NAMES. 

THE  history  of  Oriental  Consistory  is,  to  a  very  large  extent, 
the  history  of  the  other  co-ordinate  bodies  of  the  Rite,  for  so 
closely  are  the  interests  of  the  several  organizations  blended 
that,  except  in  the  minor  details  of  administration,  they  are  not  distin- 
guishable. Notwithstanding  that  they  are  created  by  separate  char- 
ters, and  for  purposes  of  administration  and  control  of  the  degrees 
are  independent  bodies,  exercising  exclusive  jurisdiction  within 
their  respective  spheres,  yet,  in  everything  that  pertains  to  the  gen- 
eral interest  and  welfare  of  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  in  Chicago  they 
have  ever  acted  as  a  unit.  Indeed,  for  all  practical  purposes  they 
may  justly  be  regarded  as  constituting  but  one  body  with  a  num- 
ber of  departmental  heads.  Such  being  the  case,  it  follows  that 
little  can  be  said  concerning  the  Chapter,  Council  and  Lodge,  other 
than  references  to  purely  administrative  matters. 

It  would  seem  that  during  the  earlier  years  the  larger  portion 
of  the  interest  of  the  members  was  centered  in  the  Consistory. 
While  our  ranks  were  thin  and  the  workers  few,  we  can  readily 
understand  why  this  should  be  so.  But  in  time,  as  energetic  men 
and  competent  ritualists  were  received  into  the  fold,  the  subsidiary 
degrees  of  the  Lodge  and  Council  began  to  be  objects  of  special 
regard,  and  then  was  commenced  the  process  of  evolution  which 
has  developed  the  magnificent  liturgies  and  ceremonials  we  now 
employ.  At  first  the  only  degrees  conferred  in  the  Lodge  of  Per- 
fection were  the  sixth  and  the  fourteenth.  The  others  were  com- 
municated. During  the  year  1868  the  first  efforts  were  made  to 
confer  all  of  the  degrees,  but  it  does  not  seem  that  these  efforts 

45 


46  HISTORY  OF  A.'.A/.ScoxTiSH  RITE 

can  be  fairly  classed  as  successful  until  about  the  year  1873,  when 
all  of  the  degrees,  from  the  fourth  to  the  fourteenth,  were,  for  the 
first  time  in  this  country,  repeatedly  and  continuously  conferred  in 
full  ceremonial  form.  From  this  time  on,  under  the  able  manage- 
ment of  the  illustrious  brethren  who  have  successively  ruled  over  it, 
the  works  of  the  Lodge  of  Perfection  have  increased  in  beauty  and 
sublimity.  And  if  we  may  be  permitted  to  predicate  the  future 
upon  the  past  we  may  safely  affirm  that  the  limit  of  ritualistic  per- 
fection has  not  yet  been  reached  and  that  the  days  that  are' to  come 
will  see  still  further  advances  on  the  apparently  unsurpassable 
standards  of  today. 

As  in  the  Lodge,  so  in  the  Council  and  Chapter,  there  has  been 
a  constant  tendency  to  improve  on  the  work  of  predecessors.  Each 
year  has  witnessed  some  development  of  ritualistic  ideas ;  some  ad- 
vance on  previous  efforts ;  some  embellishment  not  before  known  or 
practiced.  The  result  has  been  the  production  of  a  magnificent  eso- 
teric ceremonial  that  appeals  in  strongest  terms  to  the  esthetic,  moral 
and  religious  side  of  human  character;  that  instructs,  and  at  the 
same  time  ennobles. 

It  would  be  out  of  place,  in  a  sketch  of  this  kind,  to  make 
special  mention  of  the  men  whose  genius  and  talents  have  most 
contributed  to  give  shape  to  our  present  ceremonies.  Whatever 
opinion  we  may  have  of  the  special  excellencies  of  particular 
brethren  cannot  be  well  expressed  without  seeming  to  make  invidi- 
ous distinctions  and  comparisons.  For  these  reasons,  and  that  none 
may  be  slighted,  the  writer  has  refrained  from  awarding  praise  to 
those  whom  he  yet  feels  are  worthy  of  it.  Suffice  it  to  say,  that  all 
have  done  well;  some,  perhaps  a  little  better  than  others,  by  rea- 
son of  greater  natural  endowments,  but  all  have  done  well  and  all 
have  contributed  in  some  degree  in  building  up  the  present  ritual- 
istic edifice.  A  full  list  of  all  of  the  past  presiding  officers  will  be 
found  in  the  appendix. 

The  stage,  as  a  special  adjunct  to  ritualistic  renderings,  seems 
to  have  been  first  employed  in  the  Ancient  Accepted  Scottish  Rite 
of  Freemasonry  in  the  representations  of  tableaux  or  of  dramatic 
incidents  in  which  the  postulant  was  not  himself  an  actor.  This 
was  the  full  extent  of  its  use  by  the  early  ritualists,  and  this,  in  the 
opinion  of  many,  is  the  only  legitimate  purpose  to  which  it  can  be 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  47 

devoted.  As  a  consequence  the  stage  of  the  old  "Egyptian"  Cham- 
ber in  the  apartments  constructed  in  1873  and  located  at  78  Monroe 
street,  was  small  and  inconspicuous.  When  the  Masonic  rooms  in 
this  building  were  remodeled  in  1884  a  spacious  stage,  with  all  neces- 
sary theatrical  accessories  was  placed  in  the  East  of  the  new  Pre- 
ceptory,  and  under  the  direction  of  111.  Bro.  H.  H.  Pond,  Comman- 
der in  Chief,  a  new  cast  was  given  to  many  of  the  incidents  of  the 
ritual.  The  chiefs  of  the  co-ordinate  bodies  followed  the  lead  of 
Bro.  Pond  and  adopted  his  ideas  of  dramatic  situations  and  stage 
effects.  The  results,  as  a  rule,  were  highly  satisfactory.  The  same 
observations  may  be  made  of  the  general  methods  employed  after 
the  removal  of  the  bodies  to  the  rooms  in  the  building  popularly 
known  as  the  Masonic  Temple.  But  of  late,  and  particularly  since 
the  occupation  of  present  quarters,  the  tendency  has  been  to  min- 
imize the  work  upon  the  floor  and  to  transfer  to  the  stage  much  that 
formerly  was  there  presented.  Whether  this  plan  is  for  the  best 
or  otherwise  is  an  open  question,  yet  it  would  seem  that,  in  some 
things  at  least,  the  old  established  customs  should  not  be  lightly 
discarded,  while  to  those  who  are  familiar  with  the  work  for  the 
past  quarter  of  a  century  the  conviction  is  strong  that  certain  forms 
lose  their  realism  and  much  of  their  significance  when  set  upon  a 
stage. 

These  latter  remarks  apply  with  special  force  to  the  "Camp." 
In  the  old  days,  when  workers  were  few  and  the  32d  grade  occupied 
much  of  the  time  and  talent  of  the  Consistory,  the  "Camp  of  the 
Grand  Masonic  Army"  seems  to  have  been  a  most  elaborate  affair. 
This  is  particularly  true  of  Occidental  Consistory.  The  Grand  Arch- 
itect and  Engineer  of  those  days  was  not  merely  a  perfunctory  officer. 
On  the  days  of  reception  it  was  his  special  duty  to  superintend 
the  setting  of  the  Camp  and  to  see  that  the  bodies  forming  same 
were  properly  stationed.  Indeed,  the  "Camp"  seems  to  have  been 
made  a  conspicuous  figure  in  those  early  days  and  finds  frequent 
allusion  in  the  regulations  of  the  Consistory. 

There  are  a  number  of  days  marked  for  special  observance  in 
the  calendar  of  the  Scottish  Rite,  and  in  former  times  attempts  were 
made  to  celebrate  the  feasts  if  not  to  conform  to  the  fasts.  But  as 
the  bodies  increased  in  numbers  the  interest  in  the  feast  days  con- 
tinued to  diminish,  until  finally  their  observance  wholly  ceased. 


48  HISTORY  OF  A/.A.'.ScomsH  RITE 

Not  for  many  years  has  the  Rose  Croix  Chapter  celebrated  the  feast 
of  the  Paschal  Lamb,  notwithstanding  that  the  ancient  regulations 
say  that  a  meeting  for  this  purpose  on  Holy  Thursday  of  each  year 
is  indispensable.  The  last  feast  of  this  kind  seems  to  have  been 
held  on  April  10,  1879,  at  which  time  111.  Bro.  James  E.  Church 
was  the  Most  Wise.  The  occasion  is  still  recalled  by  the  old- 
timers  as  an  epoch  in  the  history  of  the  bodies.  Whether  it  is  or 
is  not  a  good  plan  to  keep  alive  the  old  Jewish  feast  of  the  Pass- 
over, the  writer  does  not  assume  to  decide,  but  in  view  of  the  pecu- 
liar characteristics  of  the  feast,  as  celebrated  under  the  auspices  of 
Knights  of  the  Rose  Croix,  and  the  new  symbolism  which  it  em- 
bodies, he  yet  feels  that  as  an  expression  of  fraternity,  if  nothing 
more,  it  should  be  continued.  Incident  to  the  foregoing  is  the  cere- 
mony of  extinguishing  the  lights,  but  this  too  has  now  become  only 
a  memory. 

The  regulations  of  the  Rose  Croix  degree  also  provide  for  a 
joyous  feast  on  Easter  Sunday,  followed  by  the  relighting  of  the 
candles  that  have  remained  extinguished  since  the  previous  Thurs- 
day. This  feast  also  has  passed  into  desuetude.  Spasmodic  ob- 
servances of  Easter  Sunday  occasionally  are  noted  in  our  records, 
but  these,  as  a  rule  consist  in  Church  going  or  of  gatherings  in  the 
nature  of  religious  worship  and  are  invariably  conducted  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Consistory. 

In  like  manner  the  Constitutions  of  the  Rite  provide  for  two 
annual  feasts  by  the  Princes  of  Jerusalem.  The  principal  of  these 
is  in  commemoration  of  the  triumphal  entry  into  Jerusalem  of  the 
Ambassadors  on  their  return  from  Babylon.  This  feast,  unlike  the 
festivals  of  the  Rose  Croix,  has  no  special  religious  significance, 
neither  did  it  form  a  part  of  the  ancient  ceremonial  observances  of 
the  Jews.  In  all  of  its  essential  details  it  is  peculiar  to  Masonry 
and  to  the  A.  A.  S.  R.  The  other  feast  partakes  slightly  of  a 
Jewish  character,  being  in  memory  of  the  frank  offerings  rendered 
to  God  for  the  rebuilding  of  the  Temple.  In  its  essence,  however, 
this  too  is  strictly  Masonic.  These  feasts  vividly  recall  two  of  the 
happiest  periods  in  the  legendary  history  of  the  Craft.  While 
the  writer  hereof  was  presiding  over  the  Council  he  endeavored 
to  bring  these  constitutional  feasts  into  use.  They  were  duly  ob- 


JOHN  D.  M.  CARR,  32°, 
PAST  COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF,  CHICAGO  CONSISTORY. 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  49 

served  during  the  years  1887-88,  but,  for  some  reason,  the  practice 
was  not  continued  by  his  successors. 

The  Constitutions  of  the  Rite  provide  that  the  Lodge  of  Per- 
fection shall  hold  festivals  on  June  24th  and  December  27th,  ap- 
parently in  memory  of  the  Sts.  John,  to  whose  service  these  days 
are  set  apart  in  the  calendar  of  the  Church.  It  would  seem  that  the 
feast  falling  on  the  24th  of  June  was  strictly  observed  for  a  num- 
ber of  years,  but  of  late  the  large  amount  of  work  devolving  on  the 
officers  has  crowded  out  this  ceremony  except  where  the  day  hap- 
pens to  fall  on  Sunday.  On  this  latter  occasion,  however,  it  is  still 
customary  to  meet  and  to  hold  an  appropriate  service.  Let  us  hope 
that  not  only  will  this  practice  be  continued  but  that  there  may  be 
a  return  to  the  old  usages,  and  that  all  of  our  obligatory  feasts  will 
again  be  duly  observed. 

The  practice  of  semi-annual  conventions  of  all  of  the  co-ordi- 
nate bodies  dates  back  to  the  early  years  of  the  Rite  in  Chicago, 
and,  in  fact,  is  almost  coeval  with  its  introduction.  These  con- 
ventions have  acquired  the  name  "reunions,"  and  no  one  word, 
perhaps,  so  fully  and  explicitly  expresses  the  general  character  of 
the  gatherings.  They  bring  together  many  of  the  brethren  that 
seldom  or  never  attend  the  regular  sessions  and  in  a  three  days' 
round  of  good-fellowship  and  fraternity  cement  anew  the  ties  of 
friendship  and  keep  fresh  the  old  memories  of  long  departed  days. 
No  one  feature  of  our  social  economy  has  tended  more  to  insure  the 
material  welfare  and  financial  success  of  the  bodies  and  no  other 
agency  has  been  so  instrumental  in  promoting  fraternity  and  true 
companionship.  It  would  seem  also  that  notwithstanding  sessions 
are  held  in  the  day-time,  and  that  these  sessions  are  protracted  over 
a  period  of  three  days,  the  general  standard  of  the  ritualistic  work 
and  ceremonies  is  even  higher  than  at  the  regular  weekly  meet' 
ings  of  the  bodies. 

The  official  name  of  the  premier  Consistory  was  "Occidental 
Sovereign  Consistory  of  Most  Valiant  and  Illustrious  Sublime 
Commanders  of  the  Royal  Secret."  Notwithstanding  the  plethora 
or  high  sounding  terms,  it  will  yet  be  observed  that  the  now 
familiar  word  "Prince"  is  missing.  This  official  name  appears  in 
the  "Statutes  and  Regulations"  of  the  Consistory  published  in  the 
year  1858,  and  it  is  assumed  that  it  was  the  name  by  which  the  body 


50  HISTORY  OF  A. '.A. '.SCOTTISH  RITE 

was  chartered.  Unofficially,  however,  the  body  at  that  time  called 
itself  a  Consistory  of  Sublime  Princes,  or  of  Sublime  Princes  and 
Commanders,  and  the  word  "Prince,"  as  descriptive  of  the  status  of 
membership,  is  of  frequent  occurrence  in  the  By-laws. 

The  word  "Preceptory,"  now  employed  to  designate  the  Con- 
sistorial  Chamber,  was  also  unknown  to  the  early  "Commanders." 
In  the  Statutes  and  Regulations  the  place  of  meeting  is  called  the 
"Sacred  Asylum"  or  the  "Camp."  The  former  term  seems  to  have 
been  employed  by  all  of  the  co-ordinate  bodies,  as  the  Statutes  of  the 
Rose  Croix  Chapter,  published  in  1865,  describes  the  place  of  as- 
sembly as  "our  Asylum." 

But,  perhaps,  that  which  strikes  us  the  most  forcibly  on  looking 
over  what  is  left  of  the  old  records,  is  the  utter  absence  of  the 
word  "Scottish."  We  have  become  so  accustomed  to  this  word  in 
the  nomenclature  of  the  Rite  that  it  is  difficult  for  us  to  imagine 
that  it  has  not  always  formed  a  part  of  our  official  name.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  however,  it  is  a  comparatively  late  development,  and 
seems  to  have  originated  in  a  misconception  of  the  genesis  and  pur- 
port of  certain  of  the  degrees.  The  men  who  formed  the  first 
Supreme  Council  at  Charleston  in  1801-2,  never  heard  of  it,  nor 
was  it  known  to  their  immediate  successors.  But  in  the  so-called 
Latin  Constitutions,  published  in  1859,  the  Order  is  designated  as 
"Antiquus  Scoticus  Ritus  Acceptus,"  and  as  these  Constitutions 
were  subsequently  adopted  as  the  fundamental  rule  of  the  Rite  by 
both  the  Southern  and  Northern  Supreme  Councils  the  word 
"Scottish"  became  thereafter  an  integral  part  of  the  official  name. 
In  1857,  when  Occidental  Consistory  and  its  co-ordinate  bodies  were 
chartered,  the  "Sublime  degrees,"  as  they  were  called,  were  col- 
lectively known  as  the  "Ancient  and  Accepted  Rite,"  and  by  this 
general  name  they  were  called  both  in  the  Supreme  Council  and  all 
bodies  of  its  obedience. 

Membership  in  the  Rose  Croix  Chapter  was  divided  into  the 
same  classes  as  that  of  the  Consistory,  that  is,. into  active  and  hon- 
orary. The  active  members  were  limited  to  thirty-three,  but  as 
many  honorary  and  affiliated  members  might  be  admitted  "as  the 
Chapter  may  deem  expedient."  Active  members  only  were  re- 
quired to  pay  dues.  On  all  applications  for  degrees  the  vote  was 
taken  viva  voce,  and  every  active  member  had  the  privilege  of

"making  such  remarks  as  he  may  think  proper."  No  meeting  of  the 
Chapter  could  be  held  "without  a  collection  for  the  poor,"  and  of 
the  fund  so  collected  the  Most  Wise  was  the  custodian  and,  gen- 
erally, the  almoner. 

There  is  another  peculiar  feature  observable  in  the  early  years 
of  the  Chapter,  or,  at  least,  one  that  does  not  seem  to  have  been 
common  to  like  bodies  of  the  period.  The  ancient  regulations  of 
the  Rite  provide  for  annual  elections  of  the  officers,  as  is  now  the 
practice  in  all  of  the  organizations  below  the  Consistory.  But  in 
the  Chapter  the  custom  of  the  Consistory  was  followed  and  the 
officers  were  elected  once  in  three  years  on  Holy  Thursday.  This 
day  also  marked  the  end  of  the  Chapter's  fiscal  year.  In  the  Lodge 
and  Council  the  elections  seem  to  have  been  held  annually. 

From  all  indications  the  activities  of  the  early  bodies  were  con- 
fined, in  the  main,  to  the  Consistory  and  Chapter  and  in  these 
organizations  it  does  not  seem  that  more  than  one  degree  was  ex- 
emplified. 

There  is  no  record  of  the  early  members  of  the  Consistory  now 
known  to  be  in  existence,  but  in  the  fall  of  the  year  1858  Occidental 
Consistory  published  its  by-laws  with  the  names  of  its  members 
appended  thereto.  These  names  are  twenty-three  in  number  and 
represent  the  entire  Scottish  Rite  membership  of  Illinois  at  that 
time.  A  glance  over  the  list  shows  that  the  standard  of  admission 
must  have  been  high  in  those  days,  and  that,  notwithstanding  the 
exclusive  policy  then  pursued,  the  flower  of  the  fraternity  in  Chi- 
cago had  been  gathered  into  the  fold.  Of  the  twenty-three  per- 
sons named  as  members  and  who  signed  the  by-laws,  only  one  is  now 
known  to  be  living,  viz. :  111.  Bro.  Henry  C.  Ranney.  In  the  pam- 
phlet containing  the  "Statutes  and  Regulations"  of  Gourgas  Chapter, 
published  in  1865,  there  is  a  list  of  members,  "active,  emeritus  and 
honorary."  This  list  shows  thirty-three  active  and  thirty-six  hon- 
orary members,  or  a  total  of  sixty-nine.  In  the  absence  of  other 
evidence  this,  presumably,  would  also  represent  the  entire  member- 
ship of  the  Consistory  at  that  time,  but  in  a  copy  of  the  Consistory 
by-laws,  published  the  same  year,  the  membership  is  given  as  eighty- 
two.  Why  the  higher  body  should  have  had  a  larger  membership 
than  the  lower  body  from  whom  its  members  were  drawn  is  not 
clear. 


52  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/.SCOTTISH  RITE 

Masonry  is  sometimes  described  as  a  luxury.  That  is,  some- 
thing that  can  be  afforded  only  by  a  man  of  means.  If  this  be  true 
at  present,  then  it  certainly  was  doubly  true  in  the  old  days.  The 
fees  for  the  Consistory  degrees,  prior  to  the  merger,  were  seventy- 
five  dollars,  and  when  we  consider  the  relative  value  of  money  in 
the  fifties,  as  compared  with  present  standards,  it  will  be  seen  that 
not  many  could  afford  to  participate  in  the  labors  of  the  "Sublime 
Masons."  The  fee  for  the  Rose  Croix  Chapter  was  fifteen  dollars 
and  for  the  Council  of  Princes  of  Jerusalem  a  fee  of  forty  dollars 
was  exacted.  In  the  Lodge  of  Perfection  the  fee  was  seventy-five 
dollars.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  membership  in  the  "Ancient  and 
Accepted  Rite"  could  fairly  be  classed  as  a  valuable  asset. 

It  may  be  that  the  comparatively  high  cost  of  the  degrees  had 
something  to  do  with  the  slow  growth  displayed  during  the  early 
years  of  the  bodies,  but  the  real  and  efficient  cause  must  be  found 
in  those  ideas  of  exclusiveness  that  for  so  many  years  were  rigor- 
ously observed.  As  a  sample  of  the  application  of  this  rule  of  care- 
ful selection  and  exclusion  we  may  note  the  practice  followed  in  the 
matter  of  petitions.  It  was  the  duty  of  the  Grand  Secretary,  within 
twenty-four  hours  after  the  reception  of  a  petition  for  degrees  or 
membership,  to  inform  each  member  of  the  Lodge,  either  in  per- 
son or  by  mail,  of  the  fact  of  such  reception  and  to  state  the  time  at 
which  the  report  of  the  Committee  of  Investigation  would  be  due. 
And  it  was  further  made  the  duty  of  every  member  so  informed  to  be 
present  and  vote,  or,  in  case  he  was  unable  to  be  present,  "to  signify 
in  writing  to  the  Grand  Secretary  his  decision  in  the  matter,  yea  or 
nay."  In  view  of  the  procedure  respecting  petitions  which  has  been 
followed  in  the  Lodge  of  Perfection  during  recent  years,  it  will  be 
perceived  that,  in  some  things  at  least,  there  has  been  a  partial  return 
to  the  old  ways. 

The  secret  ballot,  with  which  we  are  now  so  familiar,  does  not 
seem  to  have  been  employed  in  the  early  days.  All  applications, 
whether  for  degrees  or  membership,  were  first  referred  to  a  com- 
mittee for  investigation.  At  the  next  stated  meeting  thereafter  the 
committee  was  required  to  report,  and  thereupon,  if  the  report  was 
favorable,  an  election  was  had  in  which  the  vote  was  taken  by  yeas 
and  nays.  This  was  the  method  employed  in  all  of  the  bodies. 
In  all  cases  a  unanimous  vote  was  required  for  election.  If  the 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  53 

candidate  did  not  come  forward  to  claim  the  benefit  of  his  election 
"within  three  stated  meetings"  thereafter,  he  was  obliged  to  again 
submit  to  the  ordeal  of  the  ballot. 

The  leading  spirit  in  the  early  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  of  Chicago 
was  111.  Bro.  Chas.  R.  Starkweather.  He  was  not  only  the  Com- 
mander in  Chief  of  the  Consistory,  but  the  presiding  officer  as  well 
of  all  of  the  other  bodies.  Indeed,  never  before  or  since  has  the 
"one  man"  power  in  Masonry  been  so  fully  exemplified.  But  in 
view  of  the  distinguished  brethren  who  were  associated  with  him, 
men  like  Wm.  B.  Herrick,  J.  V.  Z.  Blaney,  Hosmer  A.  Johnson, 
G.  W.  Deering,  and  others  who  were  prominent  in  the  bodies  of  the 
York  Rite,  we  must  conclude  that  this  leadership  was  but  a  tribute 
to  his  genius  and  skill  as  a  worker  as  well  as  his  ability  as  an 
organizer.  Without  in  any  manner  disparaging  any  of  the  men 
whose  names  are  connected  with  the  inception  and  early  exploita- 
tion of  the  Rite,  we  may  still  accord  to  him  the  title  of  "Father  of 
the  Scottish  Rite  in  Chicago." 

We  are  accustomed  to  speak  of  the  Consistory,  Chapter,  Coun- 
cil and  Lodge  as  "co-ordinate"  bodies.  Indeed,  they  are  so  classed 
in  the  heading  of  this  chapter.  This  would  imply  that  they  are  all 
of  the  same  rank  and  that  all  stand,  as  respects  each  other,  on  the 
same  plane  of  equality.  At  present  this  is  true.  There  is  no  prece- 
dence save  in  the  sequence  of  degrees,  but  this  does  not  affect  the 
standing  of  the  bodies  nor  render  one  inferior  to  the  other.  But 
however  true  this  may  be  of  the  present  it  is  not  true  of  the  early 
years.  ,By  the  ancient  regulations,  the  Council  of  Princes  of  Jeru- 
salem enjoyed  many  privileges  and  its  members  were  given  many 
immunities  that  are  now  denied  to  them.  These  ancient  privileges 
antedate  the  formation  of  the  present  Rite  of  thirty-three  degrees 
and  extend  back  to  the  times  of  the  old  "Rite  of  Perfection."  When 
the  new  Rite  was  formed  by  the  "Princes  and  Chiefs  of  Sublime 
Masonry,"  in  the  years  1801-2,  the  ancient  privileges  of  the  Princes 
of  Jerusalem  were  conceded  to  them  and  these  privileges,  in  theory 
at  least,  were  still  enjoyed  by  the  Princes  at  the  time  of  the  institu- 
tion of  the  bodies  of  the  Rite  in  Chicago.  Among  these  privileges 
was  the  right  to  superintend  the  Lodges  of  Perfection,  which,  for 
most  purposes,  were  considered  as  attached  to  the  Council.  This 
suzerainty  seems  to  have  been  exercised  by  Illinois  Council  over 


54  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/.ScorriSH  RITE 

Van  Rensselaer  Lodge,  and  in  many  ways  we  may  observe  a  survival 
of  the  old  ideas  of  the  preceding  century  with  respect  to  the  powers, 
rights  and  prerogatives  of  the  Princes. 

Among  the  few  relics  of  the  past  that  have  been  spared  to  us  is 
a  copy  of  Statutes  and  Regulations  of  the  "Grand  Council  of  Illi- 
nois" of  Princes  of  Jerusalem,  published  in  1857.  From  this  it 
would  seem  that  the  ancient  duty  imposed  on  Councils  "to  inspect 
and  watch  over,  with  due  care  and  fidelity,"  the  Lodge  placed  under 
its  superintendence  "and  see  that  its  work  is  done  in  conformity 
with  the  landmarks  of  the  Order,"  was  being  duly  performed  by 
Illinois  Council,  and  that  the  administration  of  Van  Rensselaer 
Lodge  was  virtually  being  conducted  by  the  Council. 

The  term  "co-ordinate"  nowhere  appears  in  the  old  Statutes  and 
Regulations,  nor  in  the  literature  of  the  Rite  prior  to  the  con- 
solidation of  the  rival  Supreme  Councils  in  1867.  Since  that  time, 
however,  it  has  been  extensively  employed  and  the  old  supervisory 
powers  of  the  Council  have  been  abolished. 

Possibly  a  word  or  two  in  explanation  of  the  names  of  the  va- 
rious bodies  may  not  be  out  of  place  in  this  connection.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  the  original  Consistories  were  called  Occidental  and 
Chicago,  respectively.  The  reasons  that  led  to  the  selection  of  both 
of  these  names  are  obvious.  When  the  first  consistory  was  estab- 
lished in  Chicago  it  marked  the  Western  limit  of  Scottish  Rite 
Masonry.  Occidental,  therefore,  was  a  most  appropriate  name  to 
bestow  upon  it.  When  the  rival  consistory  was  established  it  was 
regarded  by  its  promoters  as  the  Scottish  Rite  body  of  the  city 
and  hence,  to  mark  this  superiority,  it  was  given  a  local  setting  and 
called  Chicago  Consistory.  During  the  period  following  its  estab- 
lishment and  until  the  union  this  idea  seems  to  have  been  retained 
and  its  co-ordinate  bodies  were  usually  described  by  the  same  term 
to  distinguish  them  from  their  rivals. 

Owing  to  the  feelings  of  pride,  prejudice,  and  even  animosity, 
which  commingled  at  the  time  of  the  merger,  it  would  seem  that 
the  members  of  neither  consistory  would  accept  the  name  of  the 
other.  Hence,  notwithstanding  the  articles  of  union  expressly  pro- 
vided that  Chicago  Consistory  should  surrender  its  charter  and  its 
members  be  received  in  full  fellowship  by  Occidental  Consistory, 
thereby  contemplating,  in  fact,  an  absorption  of  the  younger  by 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  55 

the  elder  body,  the  plan,  nevertheless,  was  not  in  all  respects  satis- 
factory. Therefore,  to  appease  the  clamorous  and  placate  the  dis- 
satisfied a  new  consistory,  with  a  new  name,  was  formed.  Just 
why  the  name  "Oriental"  should  have  been  chosen  does  not  appear, 
but  as  it  represented  the  antipodal  idea,  that  is,  was  the  farthest 
possible  removed  from  the  old  name,  we  may  reasonably  infer  that 
this  circumstance  had  much  to  do  with  its  selection. 

The  two  original  chapters  were  called  "Gourgas"  and  "Cceur 
de  Leon."  The  former  was  named  for  the  venerable  J.  J.  J. 
Gourgas,  who  for  many  years  was  himself  the  Northern  Supreme 
Council  and  who  alone  preserved  its  identity  when  it  had  been 
abandoned  by  its  former  members.  The  latter  probably  chose  its 
name  through  mere  caprice  and  because  it  sounded  well.  But  it 
was  a  mere  fanciful  epithet  wholly  without  significance  or  meaning 
in  Scottish  Rite  Masonry.  Fortunately  the  old  historic  name  of 
Gourgas  was  retained  by  the  consolidated  body.  This,  however,  was 
the  result  of  a  compromise.  The  Councils  were  named  "Illinois" 
and  "Chicago,"  respectively.  When  the  union  was  effected  it  was 
agreed  that  the  name  of  the  elder  Chapter  (Gourgas)  should  be 
retained  for  the  consolidated  Chapter  and  that  of  the  younger  Coun- 
cil (Chicago)  for  the  consolidated  Council,  and  by  these  names  the 
present  bodies  are  known. 

The  original  Lodges  were  "Van  Rensselaer"  and  "Chicago." 
For  the  consolidated  lodge  the  old  name  was  retained.  Here,  again, 
the  selection  was  fortunate.  K.  H.  Van  Rensselaer  was  the  pioneer 
missionary  of  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  in  the  West.  It  was  through 
his  efforts  that  the  first  bodies  were  established  in  Chicago  and  it 
seems  not  only  right  but  natural  that  his  name  should  remain  asso- 
ciated with  the  organizations  that  he  aided  in  calling  into  life.  While 
he  was  comparatively  but  a  minor  character  in  the  early  drama  he 
yet  may  be  classed  among  the  fathers  and  we  have  done  well  in 
perpetuating  the  historic  names  of  the  founders  of  our  modern 
system. 


CHAPTER  VIII. 
Civic  CORPORATIONS. 

INCORPORATION  OF  THE  CHICAGO  BODIES — PROPRIETY  THE  ACT — EFFECT  OF  IN- 
CORPORATION— DATES  OF  civic  CHARTERS — POWERS  OF  CORPORATIONS- 
STATUS  OF  THE  BODIES. 

IN  addition  to  the  warrants  of  constitution  from  the  Supreme 
Council  each  of  the  co-ordinate  bodies  of  the  Rite  located  in 
Chicago  is  also  a  body  corporate  and  politic  under  and  by  virtue 
of  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Illinois.  The  propriety  of  the  civil  in- 
corporation of  Masonic  bodies  has  long  been  a  mooted  question, 
and  the  more  conservative  among  the  Craft  have  always  held  that 
the  practice  is  wrong  in  principle  and  dangerous  in  fact.  By  virtue 
of  such  incorporation  a  subordinate  body  becomes,  for  many  pur- 
poses, the  peer  of  its  superior.  It  possesses  a  number  of  rights, 
privileges  and  franchises  that  are  wholly  distinct  from  and  inde- 
pendent of,  those  derived  under  its  warrant  of  constitution.  It 
acquires  a  legal  existence  that  cannot  be  terminated  except  by  the 
State,  and  then  only  for  a  violation  of  municipal  law.  This  charac- 
ter, it  would  seem,  is  now  possessed  by  each  of  the  Chicago  bodies. 
Oriental  Consistory,  S.  P.  R.  S.,  was  incorporated  February  15, 
1882.  Gourgas  Chapter  of  Rose  Croix,  De-H-R-D-M.,  was  incor- 
porated Nov.  13,  1883.  Chicago  Council  of  Princes  of  Jerusalem 
was  incorporated  Nov.  13,  1883,  and  Van  Rensselaer  Grand  Lodge 
of  Perfection  was  incorporated  July  7,  1881,  each  of  the  bodies  re- 
ceiving the  corporate  names  respectively  as  above  set  forth.  The 
object  of  the  corporation  in  each  case,  as  stated  in  the  declaration 
filed  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  State,  is  "to  incorporate  the 
members  of  [the  body  named]  into  a  legal  corporation  for  the  pur- 
pose of  advancing  and  promoting  the  interests  of  Ancient  Accepted 
Scottish  Rite  Masonry,  at  Chicago,  in  the  State  of  Illinois."  The 
management  of  each  of  the  corporations  is  vested  in  a  Board  of 
Five  Directors  who  are  elected  annually  by  the  members.  It  will 

56

VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  57 

be  observed  that  this  is  not  a  case  of  dual  corporations,  one  subsist- 
ing by  virtue  of  a  warrant  from  the  Supreme  Council  and  one  by 
virtue  of  a  charter  from  the  State,  but  the  Masonic  body  seems  to 
have  been  merged  into  the  Civic  body.  However,  instances  of  this 
kind  are  not  uncommon  in  Illinois.  In  fact  the  Grand  Lodge  is  a 
conspicuous  example. 

By  the  fact  of  incorporation  the  bodies  are  now  enabled  to  sue 
and  be  sued  at  law ;  to  own  real  and  personal  property ;  to  borrow 
money  and  execute  pledges  therefor,  and,  generally,  to  exercise  the 
powers  of  juristic  persons.  The  control  of  the  funds  and  manage- 
ment of  the  affairs  of  the  corporations  is  vested  in  the  Directors. 
Thus  far  no  evil  effects  have  resulted  from  the  incorporation  of 
the  bodies,  while  positive  benefits  have  been  secured  in  the  fa- 
cility with  which  both  real  and  personal  property  has  been  ac- 
quired, and  in  the  exemption  of  the  members  from  personal  liability 
for  debts  contracted  by  the  officers  and  agents.  The  title  to  all  of 
the  property  of  the  bodies,  including  the  Preceptory  on  Dearborn 
avenue,  is  vested  in  these  legal  corporations. 

Whether  the  bodies  which  meet  in  the  Preceptory,  confer  degrees, 
receive  and  disburse  money,  transact  business  of  a  commercial  na- 
ture, incur  debts  and  pay  outstanding  obligations,  are  voluntary 
associations  formed  under  a  license  from  the  Supreme  Council  or 
bodies  politic  and  corporate  existing  under  and  by  virtue  of  the  laws 
of  the  State  of  Illinois,  are  questions  for  the  lawyer  and  not  for  the 
historian.  It  would  seem,  however,  that  all  of  the  advantages  de- 
rived from  incorporation  might  have  been  secured  by  the  formation 
of  an  auxiliary  association.  This  association,  with  a  civic  charter, 
could  hold  the  property  and  funds,  contract  and  pay  debts,  and, 
generally,  perform  all  of  the  functions  of  a  juristic  person  necessary 
or  expedient  in  the  interests  of  the  co-ordinate  bodies.  In  such  event 
there  would  be  no  need  of  incorporation  for  the  bodies  and  no  ques- 
tion with  respect  to  their  status. 

As  the  civic  corporations  represent  only  the  business  side  of 
Masonry  they  offer  no  incentives  for  the  reviewer's  pen.  Their 
history  lies  mainly  in  a  cash  book  and  ledger,  a  few  title  deeds,  and 
the  record  of  the  annual  elections  of  their  officers. 


CHAPTER  IX. 
THE  COLLEGE  OF  THIRTY-THIRDS. 

CLASSIFICATION  OF  MEMBERSHIP — STATUS  OF  THE  INSPECTORS-GENERAL — DIVI- 
SION OF  RANKS — FORMATION  OF  THE  COLLEGE — OBJECTS  AND  PURPOSES — 
RESULTS  ACCOMPLISHED  BY  THE  COLLEGE — PRESENT  CONDITION. 

ORIENTAL  CONSISTORY  is  composed  of  "Princes  of  the 
Royal  Secret,  32d."  But,  incidentally,  it  also  includes  a  num- 
ber of  gentlemen  who  are  "Inspectors-General  33d"  and  who 
claim  an  honorary  membership  in  the  Supreme  Council.  For  all 
practical  purposes  these  gentlemen  are  merely  32ds  but  they  serve 
the  ornamental,  and,  possibly,  to  some  extent  useful  purpose,  of  vis- 
ing diplomas  and  sitting  on  the  dais  in  dignified  array  on  the  occa- 
sion of  special  functions.  The  33ds  are  classified  as  "active"  and 
"honorary."  The  "actives"  are,  in  fact,  members  of  the  Supreme 
Council  and  as  such,  under  the  constitution  of  the  Rite,  are  a  supe- 
rior class.  While  holding  membership  in  the  Consistory  as  32ds, 
they  also  retain  their  prerogatives  as  33ds  and  members  of  the  Su- 
preme Council.  At  times  this  duality  has  been  productive  of  friction 
and  the  records  of  both  the  Consistory  and  the  Council  of  Delibera- 
tion bear  witness  to  the  fact  of  frequent  strained  relations  in  the  past. 
Nor  have  the  conflicts  always  been  between  the  32ds  and  33ds.  The 
Inspectors-General  have  had  little  differences  between  themselves, 
growing  out  of  opposing  views  respecting  the  character  of  their 
several  positions. 

One  of  these  latter  episodes  culminated  in  the  year  1880  and 
resulted  in  the  formation  of  a  body  theretofore  wholly  unknown  to 
Scottish  Rite  Masonry,  and,  for  that  matter,  never  heard  from  since. 
In  this  year  there  was  organized  a  fellowship  known  as  the  "Illinois 
College  of  Sovereign  Grand  Inspectors-General."  The  primary  ob- 
ject of  the  College,  which  was  composed  wholly  of  "honoraries," 
seems  to  have  been  to  regulate  the  conduct  of  the  "actives."  The 
call  for  the  organization  meeting  recited  that  in  order  to  "have  an 
opportunity  for  interchange  of  opinions"  as  well  as  for  the  advance- 

68 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  59 

ment  of  the  fraternal  principles  of  the  grade,  an  association  was  de- 
sirable, and  those  interested  were,  invited  to  attend  a  meeting  to  be 
held  March  19,  1880. 

In  response  to  this  call  practically  all  of  the  "honoraries"  in  the 
city  came  together  in  solemn  conclave  on  the  evening  of  the  day  above 
named.  111.  Bro.  Gil.  W.  Barnard  was  elected  Chairman  and  111. 
Bro.  Amos  Pettibone  became  the  Secretary.  The  subject  of  the 
call  was  freely  discussed  and  the  decision  was  reached  that  matters 
had  come  to  such  a  pass  that  an  organization  of  the  Honorary 
33ds  of  the  State  was  imperatively  necessary.  A  committee  was 
therefore  appointed  to  prepare  a  constitution  or  plan  of  organization, 
with  instructions  to  present  same  at  a  future  meeting.  This  duty 
the  committee  duly  performed,  and  at  a  meeting  held  on  Tues- 
day, April  13,  1880,  the  following  declaration  was  adopted  as  the 
basis  of  organization : 

The  Sovereign  Grand  Inspectors-General  of  the  thirty-third  and  last  de- 
gree of  A.  A.  S.  R.,  honorary  members  of  the  Supreme  Council,  Northern 
Jurisdiction  of  the  United  States  of  America,  desirous  of  being  more  closely 
united  in  the  strong  bonds  of  brotherly  love  and  affection,  and  also  advancing 
the  lofty  liberal  Christian  principles  of  our  order,  do  hereby  form  ourselves 
into  an  association,  to  be  styled  the  Illinois  College  of  Sovereign  Grand  In- 
spectors-General. 

A  brief  code  of  by-laws  was  then  adopted  for  the  government 
of  the  association,  and  this,  practically,  is  all  that  the  record  dis- 
closes either  of  objects  or  efforts.  The  College  maintained  an  act- 
ive existence  for  several  years  and,  presumably,  did  much  to  "unite 
the  strong  bonds  of  brotherly  love  and  affection,"  as  well  as  to  "ad- 
vance the  lofty  liberal  Christian  principles  of  our  order."  Some 
of  the  old-timers  say  it  did  more,  but  of  what  that  more  consisted 
they  are  generally  very  reticent.  But,  apparently,  having  accom- 
plished the  work  for  which  it  was  organized  it  lapsed  into  a  con- 
dition of  "innocuous  desuetude,"  in  which  condition  it  still  remains. 

The  organization  of  auxiliary  or  subsidiary  sodalities  within  the 
regular  bodies  is,  at  best,  of  doubtful  propriety.  In  many  instances 
their  influence  is  positively  pernicious  and  it  is  difficult  to  imagine 
cases  in  which  any  real  necessity  for  their  existence  can  be  found. 
We  must  assume,  however,  from  the  high  character  of  the  men  who 


60  HISTORY  OF  A/.A/. SCOTTISH  RITE 

composed  it,  that  the  College  was  an  exception  to  the  rule;  that 
it  came  into  being  to  supply  an  actual  and  urgent  need;  and  that 
it  fulfilled  the  mission  for  which  it  was  created.  It  is  contended 
by  some  of  the  organizers  that  the  College  is  still  in  existence ;  that 
its  functions  are  merely  suspended;  and  that,  should  circumstances 
again  arise  that  call  for  its  intervention,  it  will  resume  its  former 
activities  and  again  become  a  potent  influence  in  shaping  the  des- 
tinies of  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  in  Chicago. 


CHAPTER  X. 
THE  COUNCIL  OF  DELIBERATION. 

COUNCIL  OF  DELIBERATION  A  STATE  BODY — Is  THE  SUCCESSOR  OF  THE  EARLY 
GRAND  CONSISTORY — ORGANIZATION  OF  THE  COUNCIL — WORK  OF  THE 
COUNCIL  IN  RELATION  TO  ORIENTAL  CONSISTORY — PROTESTS  AND  MEMORIALS 
BY  THE  CONSISTORY — ACTION  OF  THE  SUPREME  COUNCIL. 

NO  HISTORY  of  Scottish  Rite  Masonry  in  Chicago  would  be 
complete  without  some  notice  of  the  Council  of  Deliberation. 
In  strictness  this  is  a  State  body,  composed  of  the  chiefs 
of  the  several  Consistories  and  co-ordinate  bodies  located  in  Il- 
linois.    But  its  meetings,  with  few  exceptions,  have  always  been 
held  in  Chicago  and  its  real  life  may  be  said  to  have  come  from  the 
various  Chicago  organizations. 

The  Council  of  Deliberation  is  the  direct  outgrowth  of  the  policy 
pursued  by  the  organization  known  as  the  Hays  Supreme  Council. 
This  organization,  unlike  its  rival  the  Van  Rensselaer  Supreme 
Council,  did  not  charter  Consistories  and  other  bodies  direct,  but 
created  a  number  of  intermediary  supervisory  bodies  to  whom  it 
delegated  the  power  of  chartering  subordinates.  These  Super- 
visory organizations  were  known  at  first  as  "Grand  Consistories." 
At  a  session  of  the  Supreme  Council,  held  at  the  City  of  New  York 
on  Dec.  14,  1866,  "on  motion  of  111.  Bro.  Sheville,  charters  for  the 
Grand  Consistories  of  Illinois  and  Indiana  were  authorized  to  be 
issued,  and  to  bear  date  of  the  time  of  their  institution."  As  a  mat- 
ter of  fact  the  Grand  Consistory  of  Illinois,  with  111.  Bro.  Walter 
A.  Stevens  as  Commander  in  Chief,  had  been  instituted  some  months 
prior  to  this  action.  Just  how  this  was  accomplished  is  not  very 
clear,  but  it  would  seem  that  Bro.  Sheville  had  plenary  authority 
to  grant  "Letters  Patent  and  Warrants  of  Authority"  during  his 
Western  missionary  trip  in  the  summer  of  1866,  and  that  his  ac- 

61 


62  HISTORY  or  A. \ A. '.SCOTTISH  RITE 

tions  in  the  exercise  of  this  authority  were  afterward  confirmed  by 
the  Supreme  Council.  We  know,  in  a  general  way,  that  this  Grand 
Consistory  met  and  transacted  business.  That  it  granted  charters 
for  Consistories  at  Chicago,  Waukegan,  De  Kalb,  Yates  City,  and 
Monmouth.  But  this  is  almost  the  full  extent  of  our  knowl- 
edge. No  record  of  its  meetings  has  been  preserved,  and  upon 
the  union  of  the  rival  Supreme  Councils  in  1867  it  seems  to  have 
passed  out  of  existence. 

The  regulations  of  the  United  Supreme  Council  provided,  how- 
ever, for  local  supervisory  bodies,  with  extremely  limited  powers, 
known  as  "Councils  of  Deliberation."  In  pursuance  of  this  authority 
the  chiefs  of  the  Rite  assembled  at  the  City  of  Chicago,  in  their 
first  Council  of  Deliberation,  on  April  7,  1869.  From  thence  hither- 
to the  Council  has  held  regular  sessions.  There  is  little,  however, 
in  the  record  of  this  body  to  engage  the  pen  of  the  historian.  Hav- 
ing practically  no  legislative  powers  its  sessions  are  brief  and  in 
the  main  uneventful.  All  matters  involving  questions  of  adminis- 
trative policy  are  disposed  of  in  the  Supreme  Council. 

From  its  organization  in  1869  until  the  year  1884  the  regular 
meetings  were  held  annually.  At  the  session  of  this  year  the  stated 
meetings  were  changed  from  annual  to  triennial.  This  change  has 
continued  until  the  present,  although  there  have  been  several  special 
annual  meetings  during  the  period. 

There  are  a  few  items  in  the  meager  journal  of  the  sessions 
which  have  a  direct  interest  for  the  members  of  Oriental  Consistory. 
At  the  special  session  of  Jan.  27,  1871,  the  object  of  the  conference 
was  to  devise  plans  for  the  consolidation  of  the  Chicago  bodies, 
a  project  that  was  happily  realized  in  the  manner  detailed  in  a 
former  part  of  this  work. 

At  the  session  of  1872  a  resolution  was  adopted,  which,  in  effect, 
looked  toward  the  re-establishment  of  the  Grand  Consistory.  The 
Supreme  Council,  however,  had  no  use  for  Grand  Consistories  and 
the  ancient  body  was  not  revived. 

The  bestowal  of  the  honorarium  of  the  thirty-third  degree  has 
always  been  a  source  of  much  contention  and  often  of  much  dis- 
satisfaction in  this  district.  During  the  year  1875  the  dissatisfac- 
tion seems  to  have  reached  an  acute  stage,  and  at  the  session  of 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  63 

the  Council  of  Deliberation  of  that  year  111.  Bro.  T.  T.  Gurney  intro- 
duced a  series  of  resolutions  the  gist  of  which  is  contained  in  the 
following : 

Resolved,  By  this  Council  of  Deliberation,  that  we  respectfully  pray  the 
Supreme  Council  of  this  jurisdiction  that  no  further  additions  be  made  to 
its  honorary  membership  from  this  district  unless  substantial  proof  be  pre- 
sented to  that  body  that  the  elevation  of  the  applicant  will  be  in  the  interests 
of  the  Rite. 

Resolved,  That  we  further  pray  that  the  Supreme  Council  adopt  some 
method  of  determining  a  brother's  eligibility  for  such  distinction  that  shall 
secure  the  objects  sought  for  by  the  foregoing. 

These  resolutions  seem  to  have  been  the  outgrowth  of  peculiarly 
arbitrary  actions  on  the  part  of  certain  of  the  active  members  of 
the  Supreme  Council  in  this  district,  which  actions,  it  is  said,  pro- 
duced much  dissatisfaction  among  the  rank  and  file  of  the  Con- 
sistory. They  were  intended  as  a  protest  against  hasty,  ill  consid- 
ered and  capricious  nominations  for  the  honorarium,  and  were  en- 
dorsed by  the  best  element  in  the  bodies. 

The  resolutions  were  adopted  by  the  Council  of  Deliberation 
and  duly  transmitted  to  the  Supreme  Council.  They  were  by  that 
body  referred  to  a  committee,  which,  it  seems,  made  a  report  but 
no  recommendation  on  the  subject,  "reserving  it  for  more  mature 
deliberation." 

About  this  time  also  Oriental  Consistory  was  chafing  under  the 
restraints  placed  upon  it  with  respect  to  the  right  of  discipline  over 
its  members  who  were  also  Inspectors-General  of  the  Supreme  Coun- 
cil. The  offending  "33ds"  denied  the  right  of  the  Consistory  to 
arraign  them  at  its  bar  or  to  sit  in  judgment  upon  them.  Where- 
upon the  Council  of  Deliberation  passed  the  following  resolution: 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  opinion  of  this  Council  of  Deliberation  that  the 
subordinate  bodies  of  the  Rite,  Consistories,  Chapters,  Councils  or  Lodges 
should  be  authorized  to  try  any  of  their  members,  of  whatever  grade,  for  im- 
moral conduct,  or  any  offense  against  the  Statutes,  Regulations  of  the  Rite, 
or  the  By-Laws  of  the  bodies  of  which  they  are  members. 

This  resolution  was  likewise  committed  to  the  Deputy  for  trans- 
mission to  the  Supreme  Council.  In  due  time  the  latter  body  con- 
sidered the  resolution  and  decided  that,  "Inspectors-General  shall 


6i  HISTORY  or  A/. A/. SCOTTISH  RITE 

be  amenable  to  the  Supreme  Council  only."  This  has  continued  to 
be  the  rule  ever  since.  The  soundness  of  the  rule  has  often  been 
questioned,  and  it  is  conceded  that  it  is  opposed  in  principle  to 
the  ancient  regulations  of  the  Masonic  Institution.  But,  it  is  con- 
tended, the  Scottish  Rite  is  peculiar  to  itself  and  the  rule,  having 
been  once  announced  by  the  superior  power,  is  binding  and  obliga- 
tory until  rescinded  or  annulled  by  the  Supreme  Council.  The 
matter  will  be  better  understood,  perhaps,  by  the  comments  of  the 
Deputy,  111.  Bro.  H.  A.  Johnson,  at  the'  following  session  of  the 
Council  of  Deliberation.  After  referring  to  the  action  of  the  Su- 
preme Council  he  said: 

I  beg  leave,  in  this  connection,  to  call  your  attention  to  the  radical  dif- 
ference between  the  organic  law  of  this  Rite  and  that  of  the  York  Rite.  In 
the  one  the  source  of  power  is  from  above,  from  the  representative  of  Fred- 
erick. In  the  other  each  individual  lodge  is  a  sovereign,  and  the  superior 
bodies  are  made  up  of  representatives,  and  have  such  powers  as  are  dele- 
gated to  them.  In  my  judgment  Grand  Lodges  even  are  not  an  exception  to 
this  idea.  The  two  systems  cannot  be  brought  to  the  same  methods  of  gov- 
ernment or  of  action  without  destroying  the  fundamental  idea  of  one  or  the 
other.  I  do  not  see  any  probability  of  good  from  any  effort  to  combine  them. 
State  Consistories,  even  our  Councils  of  Deliberation,  are,  to  some  extent,  the 
embodiment  of  such  an  effort,  but  it  is  distinctly  understood  that  the  Supreme 
Council  is  supreme,  that  this  word  is  not  simply  a  useless  prefix,  retained  to 
gratify  an  amour  propre,  but  that  it  indicates  quite  a  different  idea  from  the 
word  "grand"  as  applied  to  the  representative  or  so-called  superior  bodies  of 
the  York  Rite. 

But  Oriental  Consistory  was  still  chafing  under  the  restraints 
imposed  upon  it,  and  the  session  of  the  Council  in  1877  '1S  interest- 
ing in  several  particulars  growing  out  of  this  fact.  The  salient  fea- 
ture of  the  session  was  the  presentation  of  the  following  "memorial," 
which  not  only  explains  itself  but  also  furnishes  a  fair  clue  to  the 
ideas  which  were  then  paramount  in  the  Consistory:

The  Members  of  Oriental  Consistory,  S.  •.  P.  •.  R.  •.  S.  •.  Thirty-second

Accepted  Scottish  Rite  of  Freemasonry,  and  humbly  declaring  as  the  earnest

VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  65 

of  this  representation  our  devotion  to  the  Supreme  Powers  thereof,  and 
heartily  desiring  to  place  such  Powers  in  active  sympathy  and  co-operation 
with  the  primary  elements  of  their  strength  and  perpetuity,  and  believing  that 
this  desirable  consummation  cannot  be  attained  without  fraternal  concessions 
of  rights  and  prerogatives  which  are  at  the  basis  of  every  organization  resting 
in  the  immutable  principles  of  our  Masonic  professions;  and  further  believing 
that  our  useful  existence  in  the  interests  of  humanity  is  dependent  upon  an 
acquiescence  in  the  advanced  thought  which  recognizes  the  dignity  and  im- 
portance of  the  laborers  that  furnish  the  elementary  strength  and  security  to 
all  beneficent  and  fraternal  associations,  and  also  believing  that  our  Supreme 
Authorities  are  not  adverse  to  giving  attention  to  respectful  presentation  of 
the  settled  convictions  of  their  subordinates;  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  present  system  of  taxing  Subordinate  Bodies  of  the 
Rite,  in  the  absence  of  the  most  remote  representation  in  the  law-making 
powers  thereof,  is  a  perpetual  menace  to  their  prosperity  and  our  unrestrained 
devotion  to  its  interests. 

Resolved,  That  we  earnestly  pray  our  Supreme  Council  that  such  changes 
may  be  perfected  in  its  Organic  law  as  will  secure  to  the  Bodies  of  its  obedi- 
ence equitable  representation  in  the  legislative  powers  of  the  Rite. 

Resolved,  That  should  our  Supreme  Powers  deem  such  concessions  in- 
compatible with  the  welfare  of  the  Rite,  that  all  dues  or  other  taxation  now 
being  imposed  upon  its  Subordinate  Bodies  be  abolished. 

Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  presents  be  furnished  for  the  considera- 
tion of  our  Sister  Bodies  of  this  State,  and  that  a  further  cony  be  presented  to 
our  next  Council  of  Deliberation  by  the  111.  Commander-in-Chief  of  this 
Consistory. 

Attest:    JAMES  A.  T.  BIRD,  32°, 

[Seal.]  Grand  Secretary. 

It  will  be  perceived  that  "revolutionary  tendencies"  were  rife 
in  Oriental  Consistory  at  that  time,  but  when  we  see  the  honored 
names  that  were  supporting  the  movement  we  must  conclude  that 
there  were  good  and  sufficient  reasons  therefor;  that  the  movement 
was  not  a  mere  caprice  on  the  part  of  a  few,  and  that  abuses  of 
power  which  had  become  intolerable  had  at  last  led  to  open  re- 
sistance. 

The  memorial  was  received  and  adopted,  and  a  copy  furnished 
to  the  Deputy  with  the  request  that  it  be  presented  to  the  Supreme 
Council  for  its  consideration.  The  memorial  was  presented  but 
the  Supreme  Council  took  no  other  action  thereon  than  to  grant 
permission  to  the  memorialists  to  withdraw  same. 


66  HISTORY  or  A.'.A.'.ScoxTiSH  RITE 

Some  few  years  before,  Oriental  Consistory  had  adopted  a  semi- 
military  uniform  and  the  employment  of  military  equipments.  By 
general  consent  this  uniform  was  adopted  by  neighboring  Con- 
sistories and  finally  it  received  the  approval  of  the  Supreme  Coun- 
cil. .But  about  this  time,  as  related  in  another  part  of  this  history, 
there  was  a  movement  looking  toward  its  "alteration  and  improve- 
ment." As  a  result  the  Council  passed  the  following: 

WHEREAS,  This  Council  of  Deliberation  believing  that  the  high  character 
of  this  Rite  will  be  more  fully  sustained,  and  its  usefulness  better  promoted, 
by  retaining  the  present  uniform,  in  which  appropriateness,  durability  and 
richness  are  combined  in  a  desirable  manner;  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  our  Illustrious  Deputy,  together  with  all  the  active  mem- 
bers from  Illinois  of  the  Supreme  Council,  are  most  respectfully  requested  to 
use  their  influence  that  no  change  be  made  in  the  present  uniform  of  a  Sub- 
lime Prince  of  the  Royal  Secret,  thirty-second  degree. 

No  change  was  made  and  the  uniform,  with  an  ever  dwindling 
sentiment  in  its  favor,  has  remained  as  originally  adopted. 

The  session  of  1883  was  remarkable  for  several  particulars.  In 
the  first  place,  111.  Bro.  H.  H.  Pond,  an  "honorary"  33d  presided  as 
a  "Special  Deputy."  This  resulted  from  a  "disagreement"  among 
the  "actives,"  and  is  the  only  instance  of  the  kind  on  record,  in 
this  district  at  least.  The  session  was  further  remarkable  from  the 
fact  that  the  Council  took  it  upon  itself  to  nominate  persons  for  the 
honorarium.  On  motion  of  111.  Bro.  H.  C.  Ranney  it  was 

Resolved,  That  a  committee  of  five  be  raised  to  nominate  and  report,  to 
an  adjourned  meeting  of  the  Council,  names  for  the  thirty-third  degree,  and 
that  the  same  committee  present  a  plan  for  the  manner  of  electing  them. 

A  committee  was  accordingly  raised  which  duly  reported  back 
the  names  of  five  persons  as  suitable  candidates  for  the  honor,  and 
recommended  that  the  election  be  by  secret  ballot.  A  ballot  was 
thereupon  taken  and  the  names  recommended  by  the  committee  re- 
ceived the  unanimous  approval  of  the  Council.  So  far  as  the  record 
discloses  this  was  the  only  time  the  method  was  ever  attempted 
and  it  was  possible  at  this  time  only  from  the  fact  that  certain  dif- 
ferences between  the  active  members  of  the  Supreme  Council  pre- 


VALLEY  OF  CHICAGO,  1856-1907  67 

vented  concerted  action  among-  themselves.  All  of  the  nominees 
of  the  Council  were  subsequently  accepted  and  crowned  by  the 
Supreme  Council. 

As  before  remarked,  however,  there  is  little  in  the  transactions 
of  this  body  to  engage  the  historian's  pen,  and  particularly  is  this 
true  with  respect  to  matters  that  have  a  direct  bearing  upon  Orien- 
tal Consistory.  The  foregoing  brief  resume  presents,  substantially, 
the  incidents  in  which  the  Consistory  directly  figures.
